Sorry @taeric, I can't reply to your post directly.

I do think that the intent of the producer is being communicated (unsafe to upgrade, safe to upgrade with new features, safe + automatic improvements).

I'm not disagreeing that "spec" adding more metadata to have better granularity and potentially reducing the amount of manual work is a good thing. But in the absence of it, "semantic versioning" is an improvement over safe and unsafe versions being indistinguishable.

No worries. In the future, you can almost always get a reply button by clicking directly on a post. (Click on the "time since post" to get to the direct link.)

I think I see the point. Yes, he is using hyperbole. However, I have found it is more accurate than not. In particular, the point that many projects feel a lot more cavalier about doing breaking changes.
