Describe the problem

It would be nice for it to be spelled out what package authors are supposed to do to their package's version if they bump a major version of a dependency. Intuitively, I suspect it's to also bump the major version of their own package, but I'm second-guessing that intuition because that would have a rippling effect throughout the package ecosystem.

Expected fix

Add a sub-section to the Best Practices section on what to do to your own package's version when upgrading dependencies.
