To add my 2 cents from a user perspective:

When I did the classroom installs for our students last fall I had to hack the 
configuration files to make KiCad use the libraries stored on a network share 
(https://forum.kicad.info/t/classroom-installation-of-kicad-stable-4-0-4/4126)

These libraries contain many 'atomic' parts with information like laboratory 
stock location, manufacturer, datasheet etc. which does change, so a proper 
version management is essential.

We also require the students to use git repositories for their projects, so if 
KiCad would provide integrated project versioning as well, it would be a huge 
benefit.
