But if you commit it, and a compiler deprecation causes a dependency in

either, even though your code itself does not suffer from the
deprecation and even though a newer release of the dependency is
available that solves the deprecations. This means that, if your app is
on code.dlang.org, people won't be able to dub fetch && dub run.
What advantages does committing dub.selections.json have that outweigh
this disadvantage?
The advantage is you get the same application every time, now and six
months later. If the dependencies are not pinned you might get updated
dependencies that break your build, or even worse, the build passes but
the application behaves differently.
