The hope for the managed-dependencies stuff is to be able to use it in combination with a "parent project" definition, to consolidate version numbers for common dependencies. The support for this will be released in the lein-parent[1] plugin, hopefully soon (once the corresponding PR[2] is merged), and then once that has some mileage on it it might be worth adding some of those capabilities in to core leiningen.
