[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0145: Package Manager Version Pinning

[Goffredo Marocchi]

Could you specify that in the tag of the dependency you need? >= 3.0.0   vs   = 2.0.0  etc... I am not sure why in some cases we need to be unique over state of the art like Cocoapods in some areas. What is the added value (not saying that there is none)?
