Perhaps, but it does match the way dependencies work. It makes a lot of sense to me -- "install a 1.0 product, but if it's been patched up to ..4, then install that". Like "pkg install [email protected]" gives you [email protected]. Why not? We've talked about version syntax that would force an exact match, but in this case, it could simply be a flag to pkg install.
