Can you tell us for what scenario are you using it? If you are using it to get CI builds to update we have a much better feature for this case which is to use a * notation in the file - for example you could reference 2.1.0-* to get all pre-release builds of 2.1.0 or 2.1.* to get all versions 2.1 (and so on up to using * which will be get the latest)

If I use this asterisk notation what command I should use then to get latest versions of libraries? Does restore will get latest versions? And how I can control it? I do not want always automatic update I want to run some command when I need it to be updated.

My case is. In CI build I need to get latest versions of specific packages
And I should decide whether I want to update or not.

And it would be very nice if it also update project.json file for me with new versions of dependencies.
