; Maintainers + General Development Teams Should NOT Defer
; Package-Locks.
;
; Only use under caution and experience - personally,
; I don't like managing dependencies and will set
; certain packages to only ever use "latest" version(s).
;
; Additional benefits include only using the standard library,
; or otherwise development-only dependencies.
;
; The programs I write are almost always only relating to
; development-tool(s) or automation-related deployment utilities.
; If something breaks, the pipeline(s) + notification(s) will let
; me know.
