12/09/2018, 4:28 AMGradle has configuration control which allow you to force version of particular dependency and real dependency locking, don't think that exclusion can be called "dependency locking", because locks nothing

12/09/2018, 4:46 AMI just think it's misleading statement because you cannot "lock" anything using exclude, just exclude and let Gradle resolve dependencies graph without this dependency
If you want to lock some version you have to use resolution strategy API or lock files
