Gemfile issue for licensee with gitlab 10.7.1 (gitaly 0.96.1)

the file ruby/Gemfile has the dependency to:

# Detects the open source license the repository includes
# This version needs to be in sync with GitLab CE/EE
gem 'licensee', '~> 8.7.0'

regarding to the comment the dep should be equal with gitlab 10.7.1 which has:

# Working with license
gem 'licensee', '~> 8.9'

should the Gemfile for gitaly 0.96.1 not be changed to the same version like gitlab 10.7.1 is depending on?
