Worse than that: lock files aren’t lock files the way that they are in every other language package manager that has lock files. In Cargo, Bundler, and Mix, you specify a pessimistic version (~> 2.1) and you may get 2.1.1 or 2.3.0. But that version is _always_ the same for every developer because the lock file locks the version and you explicitly upgrade after that.
I recently had a case where a developer joined us on a project and he got a different version of a package than I did because the lockfile didn’t constraint the dependencies and sub-dependencies and everything else. (For that you have to pass an explicit parameter like `--ci` or `--frozen-lockfile` depending on which of three different package managers you use.)
Bollocks, I say.
