For projects like React Native, which claim production-ready and are presumably quite stable in practice, you’re back to version numbers being meaningless, except with the added bonus it’s not even useful for marketing..

I work on Pure Data (https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/) which has been 0.x for 25 years now :-) The upcoming release will be 0.52.

See CalVer. The date is definitely helpful for something with fairly stable APIs where breaking changes aren’t really happening.

Perfect for things like Ubuntu, pytz, and ca-certificates.

Less for something like a library who’s API could change and break your implementation.

For binaries, I agree. For libs, I prefer semver

Not the git hashcode?
