Can we have release brach or labels

[pyvkd]

Proposing to create either creating labels(git tags) or release branchs.

Impact

1. Possiblity of Version pinning
2. No unexpected changes in different envs when installing from requirements.txt
3. General benifit of easier tracking of issues and upgrades.
