Our experience with Grok was that the product broke roughly every other
week (and sometimes even a bit more often than that) because people
would release new versions of things with which we wound up being
somehow incompatible.  Only by pinning versions exactly with "==" were
we able to assure that a Grok site deployed successfully today would
successfully deploy next week.  Otherwise, a web site deployed to three
different servers over a period of, say, three weeks, wound really be
three slightly different web sites instead of being identical. :-)

But, yes, it causes a headache when building a site out of several
different pieces. :-/
