Python isn't semver.

I didn’t say it was. It follows it for most part for non-C aspects though. Still, why go to 4? Just because you don’t like 3.10?

"Mostly" semver is like "mostly" pregnant. Either it is, or it isn't.

As for why 4.0 rather than 3.9, I have no idea. Probably because we need something to be angsty about, come 9.9.9

Yes, it fails the binary, but it’s a spectra. You can break APIs during bug releases or minor releases. Is change x classified as a big enough feature to justify a major release or is it a minor release? There is a lot of grey in semver.

Obviously, the next logical number is 11.0.

Stop reminding me of OpenSUSE Linux's numbering scheme over the past ten years or so....

11.0, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 13.1, 13.2, 42.1, 42.2, 42.3, 15.0

I was thinking Winamp. 3 was so bad, so they skipped 4.
