Considered yes, but this is not really a good way to do it since one of the things we want to get are REPEATABLE builds. Plus, thse frameworks are, ocasionally, destabilizing when we rework them for a missing feature.
So, what we do now is have a "Library" folderin the product. We add all dll's to this folder (and share it into every solution again, so that Source Control in Visual Studio sees the imported libraries under it's root). This allows us to decide WHEN to update them. In addition there are pland for automating these updates from a special tool for the source control system, so that it is a 10 seconds job to move the O/R mapper, for example, to a later build.
