I understand the idea of supporting ranges of libraries from a development perspective, but when you're running something in production, is "use any of these configurations" ever desirable?
Presumably there's a reason that you'd _want_ them to use 1.12.4 over 1.0.0 (or you'd want to at least check that they didn't break anything that you rely on in 1.13 when that comes out)?

In many cases it's more likely that you'd know of a bug fixed in a new release – where you'd say libfoo >= 1.12.4 – than that 1.3 has a huge problem.
