Or you could just tell them to stay off versioning/release/branching discussions, even in a monorepo. All they need to know is what release/deploy has what features, and when the release happens.

Easy to say when you're starting from scratch, but in all of my cases, these were "pre-existing conditions", i.e., was in place before I joined, and it took a long time to get people to see the light. It gets real tricky when you're _not_ a manager, and you're basically asking other managers to stop having such a loud voice in things.

Just another case of "culture eats strategy for breakfast". Once people start using any particular versioning strategy, it becomes canon, even if it's a terrible way to organize.

Yeah sorry if I came off as dismissive. It's usually a long process, if that's how things run.
