Are you bemoaning the lack of backward incompatible changes, or the lack of major version numbers because it feels like progress?

Are you bemoaning the lack of backward incompatible changes, or the lack of major version numbers because it feels like progress?
- chrisseaton 8y agoI'm not bemoaning anything, mate. I'm saying other people bemoan it. If you want to know why you'll have to ask them.
- bobwaycott 8y agoNo problem. It remains unclear how other people not wanting to increment a major version is SemVer’s key flaw. Perhaps you could have worded that better?
- chrisseaton 8y agoIf people don't want to use SemVer because they don't like incrementing the major component then that's a fundamental flaw. There's no point in it if it's not being used. There's already a few examples of people's attitudes in sibling comments. > Perhaps you could have worded that better? That's a bit snide.
- bobwaycott 8y ago> That's a bit snide. I've tried twice now to better understand what you're trying to say. In neither case have I been derogatory, mocking, or negative in intent or wording. Yet both times, you seem to have taken offense. You do you, mate, but it is immensely unhelpful to clarifying your point to someone who wanted to understand it.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoSome people just want a leading version number that they can spin manually. For example, the creator of Backbone: https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/2888#issuecomment-29076249 https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/2888#issuecomme... I say: why not both.
