As part of the discussion on the forum here:
https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]
there was a discussion that it would be a good thing to move phobos to semver (semantic versioning).
Some reasons that motivate this change are:
1) The release schedule for phobos is linked to that of DMD. Improvements in phobos must wait until a DMD release.
2) The version of phobos is linked to that of DMD. In other words, it is difficult to use a new version of the compiler and an old version of phobos.
3) Improve use of phobos as a dub package
4) Make it easier to change phobos API
5) Reduce risk of breakage
