Current Behavior

nx release in "projectRelationship": "independent" mode is only tagging and releasing projects with changes. If there are projects that depend on these projects, they are not getting tagged and released.
For example, if we have 2 libraries, is-even and is-odd. is-odd has a dependency on package is-even that is correctly identified by dependency-checks eslint rule, and stated in it's package.json file. When changes are committed to package is-even and nx release is triggered, only that package is tagged for release. is-odd's package.json is getting updated, but the package is not getting released.

Our release configuration from nx.json:

  "release": {
    "version": {
      "conventionalCommits": true
    },
    "changelog": {
      "projectChangelogs": true
    },
    "projectsRelationship": "independent",
    "releaseTagPattern": "{projectName}-{version}"
  },

Expected Behavior

We are expecting that with the changes made to the "root" package, release bubbles up to all packages that depend on that package too. In this concrete example, we are expecting that with the changes made to is-even package, nx release not only triggers and tags is-even package, but is-odd package too, as that one directly depends on is-even.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone a repository
2. Package is-odd depends on package is-even. is-even has one committed change that is not released.
3. Execute nx release --skip-publish --dry-run --verbose
4. Only package is-even is getting tagged & released.
