I don't understand what you mean by this. According to my current understanding, the next release of Spark other than maintenance releases on 0.9.x is intended to be a major release, 1.0.0, and there are no plans for an intervening minor release, which would be 0.10.0. Thus "the next minor release" would be 1.1.0, and I fail to see why we would wait for that instead of putting the dependency change (assuming that it is something that we do, indeed, want) in 1.0.0.
