It may also be worth considering whether this logic only applies to
increasing minimums (and perhaps in some very rare cases, lowering
maximums). Raising or removing a maximum (cap) or lowering a minimum
further means that downstream consumers are expected to still be
able to continue using the same dependency versions as before the
change, which means at worst a patchlevel increase in the next
release.
