Jun, 
Yes, updating the dependency minor versions does not necessarily block
beta, unless you wish to make sure those dependencies are tested during
beta.  It is trivial to rev them, so I assumed it would be useful to
change it sooner than later.  I can separate out the trivial version
update from the refactoring/cleanup in KAFKA-854 if that would be used.

I'm not sure all that is necessary for pushing to maven, but the bits for
that seem to be in project/build/KafkaProject.scala, which as far as I can
tell is not used -- I can introduce typos and random text in there and
everything still works.
