Indeed, I believe I did explain that usecase ;-)

Myself, I'd just use multiple buildouts, and I don't think I've ever 
bumped into the situation you're describing, but nonetheless, if you've 
pinned the version some other way, then buildout-versions won't tell you 
that it hasn't been pinned...

cheers,
