Well, it sounds nice, but look at Apache commons and you'll see that it fails in practice regarding X. If we had gone from org.apache.commons:commons-lang:2.2.1 to org.apache.commons:commons- lang:3.0.0 we would have been all into jar hell. Therefore a change in X in Apache commons means new artifactId and new package name (if we cannot provide compatible APIs) to allow 2.x and 3.x version to be used side-by- side (in classpath and as dependency).
