Not always possible. As you could need some functionality from a not merged 
commit or module that uses HEAD libraries. Or you have a long development plan 
and you know that when you release you work, the used framework will be 
already old. Maybe without needed parts or bug-fixes, and we know that horde 
release circles are relatively long.
