I'd put it in so that we're testing the user experience we expect.  Since
the primary purpose of @latest is so that folks can be sure they're
upgrading a package to the latest version from the publisher and fail if
it's not possible, then we should make sure that's what happens, rather
than assuming the underlying implementation happens to get that right.
