This might differ across frameworks. I see no reason to artificial bump
required version.

similar.

similar.

A requirement to upgrade other packages to upgrade a different package.

Like FrameworkA and FrameworkB. One is related to fetching imap mails,
the other   is related to paint svg images on screen.

I could imagine to want to be able to upgrade one without the other.
Given we promise source and binary compatibilities, it should be
perfectly possible. Except if we introduce artificial limitations like
this one.
