Description
Description
We would like to use Paket to enable specialized builds to test latest upstream dependency compatibility. Currently all of our internal dependencies are pinned to prevent accidental breakage, but we would like to create special cascading builds that exist only to test compatibility with the latest packages with each of our components.
In practice this maybe means adding a command line flag for update which ignores pins for some subset of dependencies. I think the --group specifier will work great for subsetting already.
We are happy to do the work and I already have discussed the idea with @forki. I created this ticket for reference and discussion.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line update entry point and the existing --group handling. Determine how an update option should bypass version pins for selected groups, then verify that pinned dependencies remain unchanged outside the selection and that the new behavior is covered by tests.
