Because it sets a bad precedence (or even continues to do so)?
Every new feature must bump the minor? Even if
there is no corresponding ABI issue?
Why not?
In my role as Debian Developer maintaining the Debian packages of other
OSS projects, and also in my role of maintaining a commercial reverse
proxy product based on Apache httpd during my day job, I value the
ability to distinguish between bugfix-only releases and feature addition
releases.
This does not mean that a minor bump needs to happen at almost every
release. But not bumping the minor for years (which seems to be the
current pattern of the httpd project) is just worse, because it
increases the incentive to squeeze features like h2 into releases that
are meant (or perceived) as bugfix-only releases.
