Not sure what you're getting at either.

By `ls -v1` I was illustrating that directory listing utilities are capable of sorting numbers meaningfully, so there is no need for leading zeroes for *that* purpose...

Ok, gotcha. My answer was a bit of a shot in the dark, but the point was that a transition to a more normal looking versioning system could be made at 2.1 without compromising the logical ordering of the version numbers.

Looking at semver.org though, it seems that the major version should be incremented for every version that's not backward compatible, which basically makes it impossible for D to conform to that versioning system at present. With rangification of phobos, the removal of std.stream, the endless supply of breaking DIPs, etc, D will be at 100.0.0 by next year.. ;)
