      • But then, how would a version be guessed from it?!
      • It would be ok project wise, but if used within a reusable package, it must have a version!
    • Option to install deps in a tree structure like npm? see: https://github.com/twitter/bower/issues/157
    • Print a tree like npm with the deps
    • Allow overrides of the registry for easier fork integration? this need to be discussed as part of the spec, see: https://github.com/twitter/bower/issues/342
