Review Comment:
   Hey @alamb, sorry I missed this when it was open.
   
   I am a little confused by this statement and others here. My understanding 
from https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/5368 and elsewhere was that 
arrow-rs doesn't follow semver, except maybe with its minor and patch releases. 
My understanding of the spirit of semver is that major releases absolutely 
include breaking changes so if arrow-rs releases majors on a schedule and those 
majors only _may_ include breaking changes, that wouldn't be following semver. 
Does that match your interpretation?
