Appreciate the help and encouragement. This pinning business ... seems like musical chairs with different suggestions here and there. Should I use this <https://www.lonecpluspluscoder.com/2014/11/25/using-elpa-pinned-packages-gnu-emacs-24-4/> suggestion, or maybe this <https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/iyzs29/is_there_a_way_to_pin_a_package_to_a_specific/> one, or...? And where is the maintained list of packages? I see .../elpa/archives/ but don't see anything else. Sorry to be a help vampire, but I've never gotten past "casual Emacs user" status and don't think I ever will with my hectic schedule.
