There is just some kind of internal resistance increasing the major-version for a breaking change, especially when that change is just tiny.

I have published a library myself and experienced it, going from 2.x to 3.x to 4.x.

After you just do it for the sake of semver though, the resistance vanished for me.

And the second thing: Never use 0.x.x versions, I think those should have been omitted from semver completely, as they circumvent the entire concept.
