Suppose you are working on an app which includes a package that depends 
on A >= 2.1 to make sure it can use a new API introduced in A 2.1. If 
you then add a develop egg for A to do some work on it things break with 
this policy because it will have version 0 and can no longer satisfy the 
 >= 2.1 requirement.
