  * Ensures that the Angular version placeholder has been correctly updated to support
  * given Angular versions. The following rules apply:
- *   `N.x.x` requires Angular `^N.0.0 || (N+1).0.0-0`
- *   `N.0.0-x` requires Angular `^N.0.0-0 || (N+1).0.0-0`

+ *   `N.0.0-x` requires Angular `^N.0.0-0 || (N+1).0.0`
+ *
+ * The rationale is that we want to satisfy peer dependencies if we are publishing
+ * pre-releases for a major while Angular framework cuts pre-releases as well. e.g.
+ * Angular CDK v14.0.0-rc.1 should also work with `@angular/core@v14.0.0-rc.1`.
