There are also plenty of purposeful semver violations. For example,
serdemakes basically no attempt to follow semver, and any pleas to do otherwise fall on deaf ears.With the justification being "I can't be bothered to decide what is breaking/feature/patch", so hey, here's a tool to tell you.
What's more, there was a recent discussion about why the derive feature is recommended in serde, and one of the points brought up was that the versions for both crates basically have to be equal. I couldn't help but wonder, would this be a problem if the releases actually followed semver? Theoretically, it shouldn't matter what versions you use, as long as they're above a certain minor version and the major versions match. But since everything is a patch, we have to pin the two crates together somehow.
