Come on, at least try to engage with what's being said.
- dcow 5y agoThat’s not what I said, maybe ready my comment again. OP: I have a problem with open source projects where the marketing and version number don’t match. If it looks like a prod, and smells like a prod, it’s a freaking prod. You owe us a 1.0. Reply: Okay, but maybe don’t go gobble up any project out there that has a nice landing page and docs and get fooled into thinking it’s a prod. The devs are probably using semver to try and communicate with you. If the project smells like a prod to you but is only version 0.8 and that makes you antsy, then don’t be part of your own problem. Don’t use it in prod. Simple. Also plenty of software is stable enough to be used as 0.8 even in prod even if it’s not feature complete and the maintainers don’t consider it 1.0. If you want your 0.8 to magically become a 1.0, have you considered sponsoring the project so that some devs can work full time on it? Hmm.
