That kind of goes counter to semantic versioning, where:

- x.y.Z (patch) -> backward compatible bug fixes

- x.Y.z (minor) -> backward compatible new features

- X.y.z (major) -> breaking changes

But of course it's fine to use whatever versioning scheme you like, as long as you communicate it to your consumers.

Edit: updated the version strings for clarity.

Minor note, but since the topic is accurate semvar: rule 4 specifies 0.x.y is a special case where anything may change at any time.
Good point, if we're already being pedantic we should be accurate. I've updated the version strings in my comment, thanks!
