I trust semver about as far as I could throw it. It's obviously prone to human error and more. Yes, the library maintainers have done something irresponsible, but the onus is ultimately on you as the consumer to test updates. At least give the change logs a good thorough read and make sure nothing that sounds dangerous jumps out at you. Reading the semver string difference is not good enough and this breaking change was actually documented. I would almost expect there to be problems jumping up 3 minor versions even.
