Hi Guys -

An informal poll of slicer developers the other day raised a lot of concerns
along the lines Bill is raising.

For slicer 3.x, our current release, we can stick with vtk older releases so
that's not a problem.

But for slicer 4.x, Jc and Julien have been trying to keep slicer's version
of vtk (https://github.com/Slicer/VTK) pretty close to the vtk master since
there's a lot of joint development on charts, widgets, volume rendering and
so forth.  Once Berk's changes go into the vtk master, the Slicer/VTK
version will end up diverging until the few thousand issues Bill found can
be dealt with.  This is not ideal, but probably manageable for a while.

-Steve
