For tooling I use something like nvm, Pyenv, or SDKMan. I don't want Python to update from 3.10 to 3.11 silently, but I also don't want to be held back if they decide that they don't want to support Python 4 yet. I also want to be able to pin to particular versions if I want, or at least update in a structured way. I dislike the way that distros purge older packages, so building containers requires me to build my own package repo cache to allow me to have repeatable builds. It might make sense for the distro, but this is where the difference between the base operating systems requirements and mine differ.
