Those are exactly the problems with the locked down index:
* You can always use *more* packages but you'll have to lock them down yourself, can't use another KGS for those
Could we create a grok KGS which is generated by a python-script, that takes the correct zope3 KGS as a base?
With a little bit more software, yes.
* You cannot say "I know the KGS prefers zope.frobnaz 1.2.3, but I deliberately want to upgrade to zope.frobnaz 2.0.2". It won't work because the index simply doesn't expose the 2.0.2 version of zope.frobnaz.
This needs to be fixed in setup tools some time in the future, then, because it will severly limit the usablility of a KGSs if you can't use this. You very often need to upgrade one package...
Right, I agree. But there are solutions. You can use find-links to get a newer version. The beautiful thing about not nailing versions is that you can overwrite what the index says.
