While --wp=6.8 resolving to “6.8.3” is likely intentional, it makes it impossible to run WP 6.8 (or other minor releases) without providing a URL.

Of course, trying --wp=6.8.0 doesn't work because that's not how the 6.8 zip is named.

The relevant part of resolveWordPressRelease:

It's easy enough to make this keep the version as specified but that loses the convenience of resolving to the latest patch release.

I propose something like one of the following:

1. Support a wildcard like --wp=6.8.x for getting the latest patch version and changing current resolution behavior so 6.8 resolves to exactly that.
2. Support a special format like --wp=6.8! to keep current resolution behavior and allow a way to specify unpatched minor version.

Thank you for considering this matter 🙇.
