A feature to combine lists of versions is definitely needed. I may be a 
developer of an application that uses both Grok and KSS, for instance. 
This can be solved by me maintaining my own list, but I'd prefer to rely 
on two lists that are already there.

That's the application developer's case. The framework developer's case 
requires me to publish such combined lists. If I have my own framework 
on top of Grok and KSS, I'd like to publish a list that's a combination 
of those without having to copy them.
