Well, the whole thing started with an issue JB had because there was a mismatch between the compendium jar (hence the version range) and the config admin at runtime, and those were incompatible. The problem is that the compendium is homogeneous, and we may depend on some version of a given service and other for other services, so using compendium forbids that. Also, I usually hate having multiple versions of the same package in my dependency tree when I can avoid it.
