So does number 2 mean you can't ever change your interface?

  I think #2 is imprecise in its wording. Break between major versions (though, really, you should only break it for a good reason). What I am seeing is breaking changes more and more in minor and patch versions, especially since developers are afraid to cut a 1.x so they hide behind the 0.x semantic versioning unstable interface clause.

    This would also only seem to matter if you release security patches to older major versions... otherwise those same people still wouldn't get security updates.

  I would say, be aware that major inforface changes mean that you might need to support the previous version with security fixes for a long time or leave non-adopters exposed.

    Yeah, that was really where my question was trying to get to... what unspoken assumption is being omitted?

  Use minors to add but beware of bloat. And majors to purge. Breathe in, breathe out. Like the tides.
