The release frequency cuts both ways, if the command in question changes frequently,
with the completer keeping in sync and an user continues to use an older version
of the command. they would be presented options that doesn't exist yet. That
would be my biggest point for trying to push those completers into their project's
source tree. While it would awesome if the developers attempt to keep it up to date
there isn't an reason why the original contributor of the completer couldn't help with
that effort too. But once an release of project foo happens and appears on your
os, you have an snapshot of the options supported by that release. bug fixes to the
completer would work like any other bug fix to packages on an os.
