Minor Versions Are Useless
Background I generally prefer Semantic Versioning (SemVer) to Calendar Versioning (CalVer) for software. I love that SemVer makes it easy to anticipate likely working/non-working updates to software! But there is a problem: SemVer doesn’t really give me a good picture of the “freshness” of updates. CalVer solves some of my frustrations with SemVer, but leaves me with other annoyances. I have something better in mind, but I first should enumerate what I don’t like about both systems.
