I was thinking of finding a new package manager that allows easier version-pinning than does Straight.el. Rabbit hole; read through a big reddit thread on this topic from 7 months ago and realized now is not the time. Maybe I'll come back to this later; for now Straight is good enough.

@worldsendless

why do you need versioning pinning? obscure package critical to you?

@dekkzz76 just the opposite, actually. There are some high-usage packages that, wisely or not, make some semi-breaking alpha changes on their main branch, and I need to lock myself to a stable one.

@dekkzz76 (version pinning is a very common idea in package managers, apparently, so my response probably didn't do the topic justice)
