Hi Mark, thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I understand your concerns and they are all valid. It really doesn't make much
sense to hash-pin dependencies if you don't use any dependency automate tool,
and Dependabot can indeed become noisy. That said, feel free to close this
until you have another reason to reconsider using a dependency tool

Additionally, I'll drop some comments that might be valuable if/when you end up
reconsidering this Bug:

- If you have experienced Dependabot and considered it noisy, I'd recommend
that you try Renovate bot (https://github.com/apps/renovate), which is known to
be a less noisy solution, but have basically the same features.

- In case you start using actions with write permissions, with access to
secrets or to build critical artifacts, don't forget to also hash-pin the
github owned actions. I know it might sound weird given you use the whole
infrastructure fron github, but note that their actions are stored and managed
very differently then their infrastructure. In their docs, they explicitly that
there is risks of using tags even if you trust the author
(https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#using-third-party-actions).
