I think this is totally fair. It is a recommendation, not a requirement.
Individual teams are totally within their right to choose how they deal
with libraries that they have pulled in.

However, I am working on the assumption that the Android Components are
largely driven by requirements from the product teams. A lot of the work
that we have been doing the past months was the direct result of requests
for changes, new features, API improvements or even new components.

It is a reality that our products are moving fast. And I fully expect the
product teams to put in requests for changes for pretty much every major
release of those applications.

You get those changes early in your product development cycle by following
our snapshot builds. And you ship them by updating to a (pinned) new
release.

I'm sure there will be exceptions, but I think we should set ourselves up
for that scenario.
