That's a bit different, they explicitly said Swift is a work in progress and code compatibility is not guaranteed between versions...

After 1.0 API changes really should increment the major version.
Unless you say "We're probably going to break things." when you announce it, which they did.
Perhaps they should have chosen a more appropriate version number then.

Regardless, that is what developers have come to expect. Not that semver is adopted wholesale, but at least don't break the API without incrementing the major version.
