Most packages' trunks are currently being developed against latest
versions of available dependencies and that didn't cause any problem
for a long time, as far as I can see, so why add the KGS restriction
now? Especially now, when 3.5 KGS is not a "released" version.

If there's a need to maintain some package within some versions set,
one always can create a maintainance branch, like it was done for 3.4
for some packages.

So, -1 from me for nailing to any KGS, but +1 for nailing to specific
dependency version, like nailing ZODB to 3.8.1 because the current dev
version has problems with DemoStorage that breaks some of our tests.
