Yep, otherwise this will become an N^2 problem - Scala versions X Hadoop Distributions X ...
May be one option is to have a minimum basic set (which I know is what we are discussing) and move the rest to spark-packages.org. There the vendors can add the latest downloads - for example when 1.4 is released, HDP can build a release of HDP Spark 1.4 bundle.
