It is so hard to redirect the tool output to my-favourite-filename.lock, beyond the skills of the average developer.

One may like it or not, but defaults matter.

Defaults don't change history.

Naming the file .lock does not make it a lockfile. (I can't believe I have to write that sentence. I don't think you're discussing technical details in good faith.)

Of course not, it fixes "... where you can read a file in the repo", because Maven already does everything else anyway.

> Ruby Bundler was the first language / ecosystem to really get dependencies right. AFAIK, they were the first to have a lockfile locking the version of each dependency and a Gemfile with flexible version specification for dependencies,

So other than having a lockfile and having a flexible version specification (and a sensible way to resolve multiple version requests), Maven did "it" first!

... what was "it" again?
