Extension developers can do of course whatever they want. My recommendation is to test an extension against the next coming version (whatever it is, major or minor) and release a new micro update of the extension with an updated max version. This can be done as part of a QA process and it will ensure that the extensions will work and it will avoid problems. If you sell your extension it is up to you to distribute it, you can give micro extensions for free. Many extension will work without a max version dependency but we have seen problems here in the past and that is the reason why I recommend the max version now.
