This check causes Travis to be flaky. For example if a PR is submitted the tests may pass, but then in the time between submission and merge a dependency could get a new version and it could fail.
Also, I don't think it's a good thing to blindly update dependency versions to always be newest, that could sacrifice stability (for example, Robolectric 3.2.0 had a Windows fatal bug in it).
For these reasons, this lint check should be disabled.
