[racket] how does PLaneT work?

That's how it works, yes, if you are typing the require at the REPL.
If you do the require from some specific file and that file had gotten
version 2.0 before, then that file will continue to get version 2.0
(unless you issue "raco planet clearlinks").

For more about this, please see chapter 2 in the planet manual (or if
it isn't clear, I'll try to clarify it).
