My vote: push the default ScalaCheck version forward to 1.6. This is compatible with Specs 1.6.2 and Scala 2.7.7, the latest versions of each. We would of course have to add a note to the documentation in the ScalaTest section mentioning that ScalaCheck support requires the explicit use of Buildr.version['scala.check'] = '1.5'.
The only other option is to leave things as they stand, which is to keep ScalaCheck compatible with ScalaTest by default and add the note to the Specs section. The only difference is that ScalaTest 1.0 is not *officially * compatible with Scala 2.7.7 (nor is ScalaCheck 1.5, for that matter), so we would be deliberately choosing to hobble Specs for the sake of a library which simply hasn't kept up with the release cycles. If that is the consensus then I'm ok with it, but we should be conscious of the fact that we are actively choosing one "default supported" version over another, and (if we choose to leave things as they are) that version also implies an old version of Scala itself (2.7.4). In either case, a little more documentation is required, detailing what a user would have to do to use ScalaCheck with either ScalaTest or Specs (whichever becomes the unsupported option).
