+By default, `<PackageVersion />` items cannot contain floating versions.  NuGet's central package management (CPM) is considered an enterprise-level feature which provides easier version
 management at scale as well as deterministic and secure restores.  The use of floating versions introduces the possibility for a bad package to be introduced into your build
 after it has been pushed to a feed.  This can lead to a situation where you made no changes in your repository but suddenly something is broken and there is no way for you to
 get back into a good state without removing the floating version or pushing a newer version of the package which is fixed.  Using non-floating versions means that every upgrade
