"How many times you got the API wrong"? I get the concept, and maybe it's correct some of the time... but it ignores the vast majority of software releases over time, which are evolved products/projects. What I initially set out to do != what's valuable/useful to the world.

So you got the API wrong - because you didn't have omniscience about every possible problem your code would need to solve in the future.

There's no shame in admitting that with a major version bump. None of us are infallible.

This makes me wonder what the largest MAJOR in MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH exists in the wild.

The largest I'm aware of is the nvidia driver, version 471.
