I can't see a use case for develop externals which do not need to add an explicit version at the same time. Is it really possible to use develop externals without to adjust versions? If so, then you are probably all right. But if not then it's just a double definition which makes no sense at all. btw, what happens to packages which I add as develop externals which are not listed in an index. I guess they behave very different, right? For me it's still very simple like for Martijn. If you develop it's an explicit task and later if you are ready, you have to think about release and deployment. Then comes the right time to think about versions and compatibility to other versions.
