Yes. You should use pinning and run tests on the third party product.

I always read the changelog and run tests on a test server (my laptop),
before doing it on the production server.

nb : I tryied to put Products.LinguaPlone < 4.0 in versions.cfg but it did

use something like this:
[buildout]

versions= versions

[versions]
Products.LinguaPlone = 3.1
