Hi everyone! I find myself difficult to understand the notion of MAJOR in semver.org :
> MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes IMHO MAJOR version - is when the amount of new stable tested features reach some threshold, or when some key characteristics of the software become significantly better (e.g. SMW 2.0 works 400% faster). See this list for more examples of stuff that I think can be the reason for increasing any version of SMW. [1] The API incompatibility is just a drawback, the inevitable evil which surely should be introduced with the version. Since the versioning is related not only with programming but also with marketing, I think it's strange to make API incompatibilities the major factor for increasing the version number.
