The linters really need to specify an exact version, because when
either flake8 or pylint release a new version, a whole lot of new
issues are caught, causing failures on the code unrelated to the
patches being pushed.
Pinning is a best practice for linters. This allows patches which move
forward the linter version to happen with any code fixes required for
it to pass.
