Some of these practices might be based on wrong assumptions and I'm not aware of it, so I would appreciate any feedback.

1. avoiding some dependency conflicts:

   • install sbt-explicit-dependencies globally in your ~/.sbt/{0.13,1.0}/plugins/plugins.sbt
   • run undeclaredCompileDependencies and make the obvious missing dependencies explicit by adding them to libraryDependencies of each sub-project
   • (optionally) run unusedCompileDependencies and remove some obvious unused libraries. This has false positives, so ; reload; Test/compile after each change and ultimately run all tests to see that it didn't break anything
   • (optionally) add undeclaredCompileDependenciesTest to the CI pipeline, so that it will fail if you have some undeclared dependencies

2. keeping dependencies up to date and resolving conflicts:

   • install sbt-updates globally in your `~/.sbt/{0.13,1.0}/plugins/plugins.
