How to avoid FS update for a given model?

in FeatureScript

So I have this model, built with a version of a certain published FS, but that FS has been updated since, and does now behave slightly different. I could, of course just refuse to update anything. What I want is, though, to update everything, but prevent updating that one FS, in order to keep the model intact.

I always thought there would be a way to lock it to a version, but can't seem to find. Where?

    You can pin a version for a model in an assembly, but I can't find a clear reference to doing that for a feature. Normally they're left at a version in the feature tree and the update notice is for the toolbar. This wouldn't force the feature to update in your feature tree, but it could happen accidentally.

    @S1mon yes, the accidental update (by a future me or someone else) is the thing I want to avoid. I thought about putting a copy of the FS version in the document as a workaround.
