What if you want to use wikibase 1.23 and MyAbominationExtension 1.5 that requires an incompatible version of DataValues and MyAwesomeExtension 1.0 that requires an incompatible version of ValueView?
You file a bug report against MyAbominationExtension and/or MyAwesomeExtension, telling them they should update their extensions to be compatible with the latest wikibase. Or wait for wikibase 1.24, with updated DataValues and ValueViews. Again, the extension authors are responsible to keep up-to-date.
Or the admin can try to upgrade/downgrade individual components themselves, just like a Fedora developer is free to do so. But if that breaks you get to keep both pieces. --scott
