How to specify minimum version of orb, but still allow newer versions?

Ecosystem Orbs

With Python’s pip, when pinning a package version, one can pin like so:

ipython>=7.25

Which will ensure a version of ipython at or above version 7.25 will be installed. Is there a similar syntax for CircleCI orbs?

I know there is @1, which pins to major version, @1.0 which pins to the minor version, etc.

Let’s say I don’t want to install a particular minor version, how can I disallow/blocklist that version? Is it possible to pin to the major version, but also only accept versions after a certain minor version?

No. If you pin to the major or minor version, it will automatically use the latest SemVer version available. Functionality like what you mentioned with Pip is not available.
