[Pulp-dev] pin pulpcore?

[Brian Bouterse]

+1 to option 1 for now.

I also recommend that all plugin version pin to pulpcore-plugin for now as
well as a general practice. This pinning can likely be undone as core goes
RC and then GA over time. Once semantic versioning kicks in, all of this
pinning should be able to be removed.
