The override is absolutely necessary. You cannot do any sort of
integration build without it. My particular case is Tambora where I pull
in bits and pieces from all over the place and many of the bits have
conflicting versions. Now for me the version overriding would suffice so
we could definitely nudge people to use a repository structure. But
being able to override the version is crucial for integration.
