FYI - https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl/pull/968 (I'm planning to drop the inlining of all deps in cider-nrepl in the interest of simplicity)
commented. is this clj 1.2 feature the way forward?
Perhaps. I did this when I was frustrated by deps update problems in refactor-nrepl, but I guess for now I'll settle on trying to update a little bit mranderson while we come up with the most robust plan of action.
