-      Dependencies on EF preview versions should be locked to a specific version (as provider-facing breaking changes are frequent).
-      For released versions, depend on anything in the current major version to allow users to update to higher patch versions.
+      Depend on anything from the EF version we build against up to (but excluding) the next major version, including its prereleases.
+      This mirrors the ranges EF's own packages use (e.g. >= 11.0.0-rc.3.26522.148 && < 12.0.0-a), and allows users to pick up newer
+      EF previews/RCs/patches (e.g. out-of-band security releases) without waiting for a new EFCore.PG release.
+      The upper bound of 12.0.0-a excludes all 12.0.0 prereleases, since "a" sorts before "alpha", "preview" and "rc".
