Sorry, but that's not the right way I think!

When you have a pice of software, that's really running stable which
depends on software xyz, than you will do the hell and backport 
every new version of xyz into your software. You can do what 
you want, there are more bugs/problems than before.

So I guess it is absolutely necessary to have a concept for this 
situation, and not to make preassure to the authors of a well 
working software, especially if they don't need the news features 
of software xyz.

Only my opinion .....

Best regards

Lars
