The same problem in Python is much easier now because you can ask the uv resolver to limit itself to some earlier point in time.

You can do `uv pip install --editable . --exclude-newer=2022-01-01` and you will end up with a resolution from two years ago. Since uv can also install older python versions automatically you can easily bisect you to a newer point.

Will uv even be around in 4+ years? No idea.

I don't know either, but think even if it's not, whatever will replace it, will at least have to achieve feature parity.
