At work, we have created an analogous component system that has solved
this issue the way I think it should be solved.
Component B ver 1.1 must declare (ABI) backward-compatibility with B ver
1.0. That allows the component system to resolve such natural dependency
discrepancies in a safe manner.
The application (or component) C, which was created at B ver 1.0 time,
can't depend on >= B-1.0 because C has no way of knowing if, say, B-2.0
will be backward-compatible with B-1.0. The compatibility declaration
belongs to B.
