Actually considering that we've been more strict about version discipline than absolutely required by semver for 0.x.y, maybe we could pull a GCC and just start treating major number the way we've been treating minor. It might not be all that different, except we'd be able to do the "backporting features" thing and have a very good way of dealing with it. So I retract my incredulity.
