x.y.z is a bugfix release. If we do it right, there will be no change in the API and only small changes in misbehavior. Therefore it seems far less likely to me that a package ends *needing* to depend on a minimum version.
I don't agree. If your package hsa bugs reported by its users, and the bug is caused by a bug in a dependent package, the bugfix release of your package might well be just to add a test and then change a requirement from, saya, >=1.3 to >=1.3.2.
Anyway, I'm closing this discussion for now as we are going to try it for feature releases for a while, see how that goes.
