No, it's not a good default. I like it, because where I'm going to be using 
it, we need everything (the kitchen sink and someone's mother, too) 
versioned. 

But no need to do it by default; I'm still testing out this "update.packages" 
stuff with versions, and it looks like it's barfing enough for a bug report. 
Hopefully I can confirm or deny that rumor by next week.
