Well,
Semantic versioning is just one option, not necessarily the best one
here. Just remember how many projects started with that, and end up
using something else, or a variant of it. Like Java started with that.
Linux kernel 3 was merely introduced as Linus was tired releasing the
2.4x something kernels (4.x happened almost for the same reason).
Firefox dropped that, because they felt that users 3.6 -> 3.7 movement
does not express the amount of work they put in between releases, and
who would use FF 3.8 when there is Chrome 6 or 7 etc.
Semantic versioning works on module level well, though there are quite
many options out there to pick from. We could do the releases in a
timely manner after we are out of incubation if we like. I just would
like to start a discussion on that. Also what matters probably the most,
it would be good what our users think of this.

Just so everyone knows how semver works (especially semver 2), and if we were
to need a bigger convo, we can start another thread (just putting out info for

Why not semantic versioning? Asking as it takes care of different meta info
such as what we are discussing, and it is quickly becoming an OSS defacto
standard from what I can tell anecdotally.
Thanks,

Yes, or -vote1?! But something that isn't -rc1 anyway. In fact,
perhaps a tagging / naming strategy that deliberately doesn't look
like semantic versioning would be a good idea?
