So are you saying that now was not the time for a major release? Or are you saying that the major release had too many breaking changes?

  Option C: They were dumb breaking changes.

  Probably not. 9 is a big number. They're probably breaking too often. Should only break every few years.

    Eslint released in 2013, so sounds about right. Even Java has had more major releases than that.

      DataTables released in about 2008 (https://cdn.datatables.net/1.0.0/js/jquery.dataTables.js https://cdn.datatables.net/1.0.0/js/jquery.dataTables.js) and just released 2.0 on Feb 15 this year (https://cdn.datatables.net/2.0.0/ https://cdn.datatables.net/2.0.0/). No BC-breaks that I'm aware of in 16 years. Not saying every project can do it, but some of these ESLint changes seem rather unnecessary. React always adds warnings in 1 major release and then removes in the following major release, meaning if you have no warnings you can just upgrade without fear, which is quite a nice way of doing it.

        oh man, datatables, that takes me back. I agree that the way React does things is preferable.
