I am really looking forward to the day we get an industry-wide standardized versioning system. I don't care whether it's semver or not, I don't care if it's 98%

I am really looking forward to the day we get an industry-wide standardized versioning system. I don't care whether it's semver or not, I don't care if it's 98% perfect and 2% pure evil. I don't care. I just really want to see a universal versioning system. Unfortunately though, I don't think that day will ever come. At least not in my lifetime.

  And depends on the environment and project... if it's a website, then the core release would best be platformNum.releaseNum ... where platform is the underlying platform/architecture, or full rewrite number... Where release number is just incremental... and maybe tying to a git hash or something beyond that.
