> That change is absolutely trivial to handle, and it will be a while before the behavior change. It doesn’t require a major version bump. That change, however trivial to handle, is still a bloody breaking change and it still has to be handled, by the library users, at one point of time or another. And how do you notify your users that they need to handle something that's changed? That's right, you mention it in the RELEASE file, a major version bump is entirely superfluous. /s This is why we can't have nice things: apparently there are library maintainers out there who just don't get it what semver is actually about.
