Consider moving to the official "centralized package version" support
See original GitHub issueNuGet has had an official way to centrally manage package versions for some time now (https://github.com/NuGet/Home/wiki/Centrally-managing-NuGet-packages, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/sdk/5.0/directory-packages-props-imported-by-default, https://github.com/NuGet/Home/wiki/Centrally-managing-NuGet-package-versions).
It does this via a Directory.Packages.props
file and has better integration with the IDE and other tooling.
We should look at migrating arcade dependent repositories to using the official tooling shipped alongside the produce where possible, rather than relying on custom solutions. If the official tooling is missing minor support, then we should ensure the relevant tracking issues are filed to enable the scenarios or that our custom needs are built on top where feasible.

I would prefer that the package versions actually exist in the Directory.Packages.props file though, for the IDE support that may be coming.
It appears that the latest version of dotnet has a nuget version that is high enough for us to try this again. Going to drop this in Operations. We should think of doing it next time we have to upgrade packages
