I wouldn't. I also think it is a small subset of projects in which specific technology choices are critical. Also, it seems you are describing to opposing problems, one shop only wants to use the technology it knows (in my opinion this should be the default position) and another in which they mindlessly want to use the latest and coolest. It takes a very knowledgeable manager to tell the rare cases of "we need the latest tech" from "my engineers want to play with the latest tech"
