I meant that if the latest version 0.321 of the project 'foobar' depends 
on 'bazbaz 0.5.8.2' but also versions 0.5.8.4 - 0.5.8.11 (API but not ABI 
compatible) and 0.5.9 (mostly incompatible) and 0.6 - 0.9.12.3 (totally 
incompatible) exist, the build fails badly when downloading the latest 
library. If you don't document the versions of the dependencies anywhere, 
it's almost impossible to build to project even manually.
