Currently we're using an old tendermint version, and we use an equal sign. Because of this, we have to use an override for tendermint in the sdk's gopkg.toml. This makes it hard to import the sdk, and use any type from tendermint. This is because overrides do not apply transitively with dep. Only overrides in the top directory you're calling dep ensure from get applied. Therefore in your downstream application you have to add an override import yourself, which is confusing,

We should change the tendermint import to be ^v0.22.0, or ^v0.22.4. (In the SDK its just getting replaced with v0.22.4 anyway) This would alleviate issues in the future as well.
