How on earth do people get from "the version number starts with a zero" to "the quality is astonishingly low"? It blows my mind.

Edit to add: If I was an opensource package maintainer again, my first action would be to massively bump the major version number of my packages. HUGE increase in quality right there.

Not the actual quality but I suspect the perception of quality by some people would genuinely be increased by bumping the version numbers. Maybe it would help with adoption.

In SemVer, having the first number be zero means that the project is still in unstable development.
