@andrewnez@mastodon.social Whether we are talking about registries or distributions, a mechanism exists to provide a selector. If you provide a selector, you expect to follow a specific release stream. And if you don't provide a selector, then you will get whatever stream is newest.

@andrewnez@mastodon.social The only difference I can logically describe between Debian and a registry is that a stable release of Debian is a *set* of components. So it might make sense for "pip" to have the option to update a venv by installing the newest release of each component's release stream without rebasing anything in the set.
