Hi Nikita,
it does sound like a good advice from a dependency perspective. If you don't do
that clojurescript and all its dependencies leak to projects using your library
and that's definitively problematic. For clojure/clojurescript projects it's
even more important to consider that point.
That said clojure/clojurescript are not regular dependency and by defining a
version you also declare the minimum language features needed by your library.
That's definitively a grey area as both concepts are merged now.
