It pretty much does solve the versioning issue. “Latest, always”. The downside is the abysmal state of monorepo build tools. With multirepos, who updates the downstream repos’ dependency files (e.g., requirements.txt) when an upstream project releases a change? And is the policy “latest, always” or do you support N versions of every package? I would argue that the latter is insane at any scale, and the former leaves you dealing with dependencies manually (someone is updating the downstream repos’ dependency files when an upstream change is released) or you build automation that does it and you’re well on your way to implementing your own monorepo-like build tool.

Everything is hard, unfortunately.
