This logic is the opposite of semver. Semver says you only bump the major version number when you make a breaking change. Since breaking changes are Bad Things, therefore bumping the major version number is also a Bad Thing. It is something that you should strive to *avoid* having to do. Under semver, a version number of the form 1.<large integer> is a *badge of honor*. It means that you have successfully executed many releases *without* needing to make a breaking change. One should display that initial 1. proudly; one should not consider it to be superfluous. zw _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
