It's easy to point out problems with semantic versioning; I'd rather read about solutions. Semantic versioning is not harmful. What's harmful is its misuse; don't rely on all projects to apply it the same way. With or without semver, I'm going to lock my dependencies and test thoroughly when I do bump them. But semver sure is handy to help me comprehend the degree of changes in project dependencies. It's also great for finding the sweet spots among common dependencies. I'm all ears for something better, but semantic versioning does not need to be condemned, we simply need to use it correctly.
