Haha it happens to me all the time too.
> Adding a platform with a caret version adds the very latest rather than the
> latest matching version

> Key: CB-9147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9147
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CordovaLib
> Affects Versions: 5.0.0
> Reporter: Tim Barham
> Assignee: Tim Barham
>
> If you add, say, windows 3.5.0 platform to a project with the save flag:
> {noformat}
> cordova platform add [email protected] --save
> {noformat}
> We write out {{^3.5.0}} to {{config.xml}}.
> If the platform is removed then re-added, we install {{4.0.0}} instead of the
> expected {{3.8.2}}.
> This is because internally we are using a version of {{npm}} that doesn't
> understand caret versions.
