The problem comes in when I or other developers want to /use/ those
libraries, and keep them up-to-date. You can't use features like "~1".
You know when you're using a module that's in a 0.x release cycle, so
just use ~0.y.z and you'll be fine.
While I'm developing a library, I use 0.0.x as pre-release, where API
breaking updates occur at every revision. From Timezone:
"On the 0.0.x branch, API changes may break applications. Please use an
absolute version number in your package.json to hold onto a version
Timezone that works for you. When 0.0.x development is done, I'll create
an 0.2.0 branch for application use and a 0.1.0 for any further
development. The 0.2.0 branch will be an API freeze."

So, like Scott says, but with no tilde. Each upgrade requires your
attention.
Thus, I'm not following the semvar document, but I'm adhering to the
notion that semvar helps you manage API instabilities, documenting my
reasoning.
0.0.x is pre-release for the intrepid.
