I'm a bit confused. Pinning the version is exactly what prevents things from 
suddenly breaking. It's floating versions that causes "It works on my machine, 
why doesn't it on yours?"-behavior.

By pinning, you remove the need for constantly checking the versions. 

But I can definitely believe that with this list of packages (mainly 
text-manipulating stuff) it is very rare for an update to be breaking. However, 
preventing broken builds is only part of the reason for adding this file. A 
platform independent convenient way of installing the required packages is 
another.
