I'd say it does; it contains a line

allow-picked-versions = false

which makes buildout complain if it ends up using a package whose version
it had to pick from the index, so you're required to specify a version for
every package used by any part of the buildout. This line is a piece of
policy that I'd like to see gone from ztk.cfg as well; if someone wants
the behaviour, they can specify it in their buildout.cfg.

Agreed.
