This feels like an overly abrasive response that makes me seriously question whether using Underscore moving forward is a good idea. I really hate to say that because I think Jeremy's projects are awesome.
This is the most depended on module on npm. Why are you so intent on alienating the package consumers? IMO, having a version 47.0.0 and such doesn't seem all that terrible to me, and is still just as human readable. Other groups are doing it and it's working just fine (ie Chrome).

Since few people are silly enough to use the ">=" operator in package.json, a popular package with that many "breaking" changes is effectively going to be pinned at 46 different points. I imagine we'd start to see some of the same entitled whinging we see exhibited here, but in the opposite direction. "Why do you have so many major releases? It means I have to re-release my packages constantly."
- tylerlh 12y agoThat's a fair point. I guess a better solution in my mind is teaching people to be more responsible with their package.json file and consumption of packages (ie reading changelogs), but that's not jashkenas' problem, nor should it be.
- jessaustin 12y agoActually I think he's done quite a bit of teaching along those lines in the last three days. Several students seem unhappy with the lesson...
