Ah, great minds think alike, I just let Kim know the same. Your own 
setup.py is of course completely under your control and locking down 
versions hard in an application is probably less bad than doing it with 
a framework.

I think you should create a launchpad issue to have grokproject support 
this with an option ("bake version requirements hard into setup.py"), so 
we won't forget. Patches are welcome as well, of course. :)
