Hi,
To my knowledge these differences are minor and won't be a showstopper
for studio pipelines.
I will leave it to the platform maintainers though :)

I took a quick survey, most of the libs are either not applicable to us (QT
related stuff) or at the preferred version already
however some of them are lagging behind a bit (or a lot in case of openVDB) and
one of them is a little ahead of the VFX platform
Behind:
OpenEXR VFX:2.4.x Blender:2.3.0
OpenSubdiv VFX:3.4.x Blender:3.4.0 RC2
OpenVDB VFX:7.x Blender:5.1.0
Boost VFX:1.7 Blender:1.68
Ahead:
Intel TBB VFX:2019_U6 Blender:2019_U9
Is the plan to get at-least the lagging ones up to the VFX versions for 2.83?

Hi everyone,
Blender has always been an early adopter of new libraries. We moved to Python 3
ten years ago already. Unfortunately that made Blender incompatible with the
Python 2.7 infrastructure in many studios. But the industry is catching up!
Python 3.7 is now the reference standard.
To give studios enough time and confidence to check out on Blender, I propose
to respect the VFX Platform versions for the entire year of 2020. That implies
we will be very conservative with upgrading libraries, for example Python will
stick to 3.7 this year for official releases.
I've checked it with the core team and administrators, and they're OK -
provided this won't hold back essential improvements for our users.
Check the reference platform here:

Thanks,
