Major versions should guarantee compatibility. A major version can add net new capabilities but should not break existing input compatibility or break existing workflows.
Major version binding allows you to take advantage of bug fixes and critical functionality and security fixes. The `master` branch has the latest code and is unstable to bind to since changes get committed to master and released to the market place by creating a tag. In addition, a new major version carrying breaking changes will get implemented in master after branching off the previous major version.

Binding to the immutable full sha1 may offer more reliability. However, note that the hosted images toolsets (e.g. ubuntu-latest) move forward and if there is a tool breaking issue, actions may react with a patch to a major version to compensate so binding to a specific SHA may prevent you from getting fixes.
