Hi Daan, Can you clarify what we are actually voting on please.
In thread that is linked I've seen: "[the vote] will be to adjust to the semantic versioning system." - you can't go to 20 AND keep semantic versioning. The act of going to 20 breaks semantic versioning [1]. " drop the 4 at version 20 and continue as usual with minor and patch level updates as we have in the past." - what's supposed to come next ? in lieu of what would have been 4.21 will it be 21 ? is it going to be 20.1 then 20.2 ? >From the thread and how people are referring to 'minor versions', there is a >misunderstanding as to what semantic versioning means. For our project its >explained here [1]. Major versions meaning "probably going to break a load >of people's stuff', with minor versions not breaking stuff (at least not on >purpose). So I get calling them minor versions really underplays the changes >it can hold. I'm going to stick in a -1. Not as hard 'no' to any changes, but I think the vote should be on 'A change to the version numbering scheme' and then what is proposed properly laid out.

If you want to be counted please reply to dev@. As discussed in [1] we are deciding to drop the 4 from our versioning scheme. The result would be that the next major version will be 20 instead of 4.20, as it would be in a traditional upgrade. As 20 > 4 and the versions are processed numerically there are no technical impediments. +1 agree (next major version as 20 0 (no opinion) -1 disagree (keep 4.20 as the next version, give a reason) As this is a lazy consensus vote any -1 should be accompanied with a reason.
