Me is +1 as well.

I'll adjust grokproject to have it include an extends-cache directive in 
newly generated buildout.cfg files. I'll also revert to the code that used 
to generate an extends directive pointing to the most current version info 
URL. The code that currently would download a versions.cfg can then be 
removed.  I like that: removing code and make things simpler again :-)

Let me also remember to update the upgrade docs for existing projects.
