With verison 4.0.0, they've implemented semantic versioning which should make life easier for avoiding breaking backwards compatibility changes.

All semver does is tell you you are pinned to some obsolete tool, and you are going to go through a soul sucking 6 months of yak shaving to stay up to date. (rails programmer since v3 here)

Semver doesn't make life easier. Making backward compatible changes is what makes life easier.

Does that make it easier or does it just mean you'll be more aware upfront that to get the security fixed or support you need for some new feature you need to upgrade to an incompatible version
