Parent comment doesn't mention whether identification of versions is done manually or whether they just grab master. If the latter, it's probably reasonable. At $myclient, every release to stage and prod requires teams to manually identify each version of each microservice as well as the stories (JIRA tickets) that are being deployed. This is extremely painful, time-consuming, and error-prone. Avoid at all cost; as the number of services grows, the pain/time/error cost appears to increase geometrically.
