Another person who thinks semver is some kind of eldritch law-magic, serving well to illustrate the primary way in which semver was and is a mistake.

Sacrificing a version number segment as a permanent zero prefix to keep them away is the most practical way to appease semver's fans, given that they exist in numbers and make ill-conceived attempts to depend on semver's purported eldritch law-magics in tooling. It's a bit like the "Mozilla" in browser user-agents; I hope we can stop at one digit sacrificed, rather than ending up like user-agents did, though.

In other words, 0ver, unironically. Pray we do not need 0.0ver.
