One word here. When this thing gets into productization it is better all around if we do use the same versions. While we can do some really cool things now through modules to have different versions of the same components floating around, I fear that we will get lazy, and before you know it we end up with dozens of versions of similar or the same components floating around, and that will become a support nightmare.
