The "star" in NuGet means essentially a wildcard: bring the highest number of the part of the version where the star is.

We should document how this works as well as why it is not a recommended practice, especially w.r.t the platform metapackage(s). For more information on why this is a problem, please refer to dotnet/cli#2454.

I mention it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/tutorials/managing-package-dependency-versions

But it probably should be more prominent and in another article.

I'm pretty sure it behaves the same as it did in the project.json days, modulo some bug fixes since then.
