Re: [DISCUSS] Semantic Versioning

[David Medinets]

[ +1 ]: adopt semver 2.0.0 (http://semver.org)
[ +1 ]: adopt additional strictness to require documenting deprecation for at
least 1 major release before possible to consider in the next major release
[ +1 ]: adopt additional strictness to ensure forward compatibility between
bugfix releases
[ 0 ]: start operating under whatever rules we adopt as of the master branch
[ +1 ]: keep the master branch named 1.7.0
[ 0 ]: define scope of these versioning compatibility rules to  be our
current definition of "public API" and the wire version
