Bug Description
The "versions.cfg" pins all the packages. But it seems that some dependencies can be upgraded safely.
* simplejson is version 1.7.1, dated March 2007
* pytz is 2007k
The latest release of simplejson is 2.0.9, and it brings many improvements, fixes and optimizations.

The timezones (pytz) are 2 years old, which can be a pain for some users.
I would propose to unpin the package pytz, or at least to pin to the newest version.

Good points, thanks! I've updated the Grok 1.0 branch to use the newer versions (and trunk)
I'm not sure what needs to be done to make simplejson compile its optional C extension by the way (on Windows hopefully it'll fall back to the pure_ptyhon version).
(Note that we do allow individual users to re-pin to newer versions in their buildout.cfg, so you're not entirely stuck.)
