+1 to pin dependencies and use dependabot If we were to pin to Z releases, then we'd need to release pulp 3 package with any Z release of any dependency we pin. And in case of any [security] fix in any dependency, users would need to wait for us to release pulp with updated dependency version.
If my logic above is correct, I'm +1 to pin to Y releases. I think most (if not all) breaking changes we observed were in the Y releases.
