That's a good point. It's a tough call because we're trying to move as fast as possible but this means that the code can bitrot and not get updates from the community.
The other thing I was thinking about was using the maven updates plugin to automatically detect when new versions are released. The problem with this is that releases get cascaded as libs move up the dependency tree. We have about 150 modules so this could get confusing if we're not careful.
