I think its a coincidence. Check nodejs commit history: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commits/f3282c8d1e0ce6ba5d9... there are minor versions also

Right, so if I'm understanding correctly, I'd need to pin the whole nix-pkgs system to the particular git revision which contains the version I need?

That's it, also you can cherry pick different software from different git revisions.

Do you have any public examples of doing this? Or docs?

Closest I found was to pin the nix-channel entirely, but not different components to different versions.

You could do something like:

    let pinnedPkgs = import (builtins.fetchTarball {...}) {};
        node = pinnedPkgs.nodejs-10_x;

to refer to a specific version of node.
