I only have more experience with long term maintenance of code.

Pinned requirements == complacency == future breakage, when maintenance is
much more expensive than it is today.

We deploy multiple times a day and I don't find that the gap between a
Travis test and production deployment is so long that an upstream release
within those few seconds broke compatibility.
