Not that I know much about the needs here, but I would expect also

- Supports pinning to a specific version

? With that I mean the ability to lock a dependency to a specific
version, à la pinning in pip/PyPI in the Python world.

A system that only has the latest versions of everything available
(e.g. like Homebrew on the Mac side, unless you consider "taps") would
not be very good I imagine, since I think you'll want to lock in known
good versions?
