If the fear of customers disatification prevents you from using a 
certain version of X, you should consider a deployment strategy that 
cuts out dependencies as much as possible. Although this will result in 
a larger end package and possible high amount of duplication, it is 
still preferable to just stop supporting popular platforms or be swamped 
away with bugs due to version mismatches.
