Sure, it's just that the DX of getting that commit hash isn't terrific, so one might be more inclined to trust an auto-update bot to automatically update them instead. A lock file is more like TOFU on a tag. I'd also take a UI like a "bake" button and CLI flag that substituted the hashes automatically, but you just know people are going to build `--bake` right in to their automation.

Another solution would be to implement immutable tags in git itself, but git upstream has so far been hostile to the whole concept of immutability in any part of git.
