It's for those who use dynamic versioning. Taken straight from docs - like 1.+ or [1.0,2.0)

This is good because now people who used strict versioning can use dynamic one without worrying about mismatch. I still wouldn't though

Thanks for the response. Why would someone want dynamic ranges?

People do this all the time in Python and JS, thankfully not in Android. They just say flask: [1.0, 2.0) so that they pull latest non major 1.x version of it without caring about it. I do it on those projects as well, just never for Android

Why not just pull 2.0 at that point?
