No we should use constraints (version ranges). But we need to understand
how that interacts with the release process and reproducability of tagged versions.

Specific versions is just a very restrictive form of version constraint
that will make it virtually impossible to upgrade projects without also doing
dummy releases of other projects to change their constraints to agree.
