I don't think it should be removed, semver states versions must be immutable and never changed.

Obviously we can't remove or change the names of currently registered projects. That isn't an option.
But the result is that code.dlang.org will be full of projects like "betterxml" or "xml2" or "xml2018", because each developer abandons some work, and now it looks like a complete mess.
Imagine if github was this way, you couldn't name your project after any other persons project name! I don't see why we shouldn't be able to disambiguate between people's projects somehow, even specifying a dependency.
