Agreed, plus version pinning isn't mutually exclusive to running latest, head, or whatever you call now. You can still resolve now to some version. For example, Debian stable resolves to version 9. Stable points to the dependency tree called version 9, but you can also just reference it directly if you want. You can go back in time and reference dependency tree 8 if 9 was a doozy. It's foolish to think every version is going to better than the previous, in my experience. Sometimes you have to make the present the past until the future gets its act together.
