I'm just going to brain fart this in here. why is it pip freeze , if it doesn't stop dependencies from updating or whatever?

    Looking at the format it supports bare, pinned, or version ranges.

    I imagine ranges are preferred for libraries as you'd hit version conflicts if the same dependency showed up twice with different pinned versions in the dependency tree.

    The post suggests that during backtracking the maximum version considered for any dependency must be a certain age to reduce the attack surface of malicious releases assuming the vulnerability will be caught within the desired window.
