I love using Homebrew but I wish there was more support for pinning. I recently setup a new remote VM and tried to use a Brewfile for my setup. Turns out I cannot pin Neovim and so had to force upgrade my setup to 0.12.

Forced upgrades are not nice.

Try `brew version-install` (which uses `brew extract` and `brew tap-new` under the hood)
