Describe the enhancement you want to request

(if this has been suggested before, sorry. I did search)

I noticed that some plugins recommend installing them with @latest. I'm aware of the previous npm supply chain issues so I won't be doing that, but I assume a fair amount of people are. It'd be great to have some sort of lockfile support or "Are you sure you want to upgrade?" prompt if someone does use @latest or similar un-pinned versions. Of course, people might just blindly accept those prompts, but I think its worth a little effort here given the potential risks.
