If we do that, I'd also suggest we use the 'buildout.dumppickedversions' 
  extension. This prints the picked versions with some explanation about 
what required them, either to a file or to the console. This is a useful 
sanity check: if you see a package in there that looks spurious you may 
ask whether it should've been pinned somewhere.
