It's not that uncommon to have OS version fixed in CI/CD pipelines. E.g. a build process intended to produce artefacts for Apple's Appstore is dependent on XCode, and XCode maybe forced to upgrade in case of MacOS upgrade, and it may break things. So the OS version becomes a line in requirements. It's kinda disappointing, but it's the real state of affairs.

how about hardware that software is supposed to run on? that certainly can have effect. let's pin that too into project repo. don't want to continue this thread. but to re-iterate my point, you have to stop somewhere what to pin/version and what to not. I think my criteria is reasonable, but ultimately it is up to you. (so as long whole ecosystem and dependency trees do not become bags of everything, in which case Go here is alright so far. after digging deeper what v1.24 proposing will not cause massive dependency-apocalypsis of tools propagating everywhere and only what you actually use in main is going to be included in go.mod, thanks to module pruning).
