This seems kind of odd to restrict matching on exact version when one can provide any dist-tag instead (which can be moved around at will). Reverting the restriction would help...

that wasn't working as of a couple hours ago. `corepack npm@7` unknown version or smth to that effect

wrapping `corepack` to support this, I've pulled down the result of `npm show --json versions`, then use [semver](https://npm.im/semver) to try match a range.

@aduh95 I wonder if the env var was the problem. Seems to work now, thanks.

@mrgrain Couldn't you use a dist tag? e.g., `npm@latest`

@ljharb Did you ever find anything about this licensing issue?

This might be a morass, which is why I'm making the issue instead of just going to fix it.

(Note new `parallel` label)

Fair enough. Hopefully drivers won't need to actually _implement_ any validation functions, though.
