Hi Thierry,

The Metacello answer here would be "it's up to you" hahahaha. I don't have
a strong opinion. Most of the times I am in the similar situation, I tend
to use fixed versions when the projects are really coupled and one cannot
work without the other. And use #stable when they are less coupled and I
would not die if that dependency is broken for some time until fixed.

What would be the problem of using #stable? That I may release new versions
which may break the user API, or I may introduce bugs that I didn't
discover before, etc etc. It won't be fun if I update GitFileTree and
suddenly I cannot commit anymore. But at the same time, you don't expect a
user to be updating GitFileTree in his image. In addition, you have a CI
that will tell you immediately if the build fail or your tests failed.

If you ask me, I think I would use fixed versions. Then, whenever I release
a new version, you give it a try, you test it, you try it in the CI, etc.
If everything seems to work, then I would update your conf and point to new
version.

Cheers,
