[question] Stack version locking

[micahlmartin]

Are there any plans to version the stack to lock in the functionality? Currently when creating an instance of the stack the default behavior is to pull the latest from master:

module "stack" {
  source             = "github.com/segmentio/stack"
}

Unless you always 100% guarantee everything is backwards compatible this creates problems when you have long-running instances and automation. If I don't check-in the .terraform/modules folder into my repo anytime I do terraform get I'm going to get updated modules.

Terraform has the ability to specify a branch/version with:

module "stack" {
  source             = "github.com/segmentio/stack?ref=1.0.0"
}

This would guaranteed we always got the version we currently had deployed and would not run into a situation where we suddenly got a diff that could cause issues.

I'm curious to hear as to how other people are solving this.

Not using it yet, but couldn't you just fork it and point to your fork? Then you would be in control of updating as you see fit.
