I asked srichter on IRC about this, and my understanding is that
* versions.cfg that is produced from controlled-packages.cfg will
contain only the latest versions.
* the PyPI mirror at download.zope.org will have all of the versions
available
* people who have an older version of versions.cfg will still be able
to get the packages mentioned there from download.zope.org
Since versions.cfg is usually referred with a URL, it seems to me this
only matters if you update controlled-versions.cfg in the middle of
someone's buildout run?
Ok, now I'm confused. If I refer to versions.cfg, won't buildout
download the actual eggs directly from PyPI, rather than looking in
download.zope.org?
