Yeah, though not quite intentionally I think, it's not used.

That url is in the form user/repo/tag, with tag being a git tag or branch.
Maybe we can consider unversioned only dependencies in the form user/repo.

This code

It's already mapping request path to local path. We just need to add logic
to map lib paths to the system libraries instead of the activity directory.

 This should give the best of both worlds because the bundles would still be

I think with the way volo dependencies are specified, we cannot check if
the system library is newer. So if no version is specified we always use
the system library, if there is one installed.
