So given Vinay's comment that "legacy" is sufficiently flexible to
encompass current schemes (which I haven't verified, but I trust
Vinay's assertions on such things) then why not just have "legacy" and
"pep386" and be done with it? If someone wants to propose semver (or
any other scheme that has thus far not been debated) let them raise a
new PEP.

I think that's basically what everyone is saying, it's just that
mentioning semver muddied the waters.
