The issue is .. they change the versions out and you then lose that<br>
package. next build it fails with the new one .. what do you do? The<br>
old package is no longer available anywhere.<br>

If you build that package .. then you can move to the new one whenever<br>
you want.<br>
<br>
So there are pluses and minuses abound in both scenarios.<br>
