I've been using semver for ages and I never realized it banned leading zeroes. Guess it makes sense, how many octal bugs were avoided?
Saw it recently and i am thinking of switching to it. It makes much, much more sense to instantly gauge maintainer activity in addition.
Easy on the integrator, easy on the maintainer, that's the idea. Especially with agents reading changelogs these days, time is the best human-legible heuristic.
I'm heavily considering adopting this, would love to chat with anyone who has -- any tradeoffs here?
This is so fascinating I remember Apple's transition to versioning by year and thinking to myself "I wonder if anyone's standardized an approach to this in a more deterministic / calculated way"?

Cool to see someone has!
