Why do we keep building rotten foundations?
As someone who follows Semantic Versioning like the bible when my API changes I find it incredibly interesting that there is an open source community willing to go about it in such a backwards way. Why wouldn't it be GTK 4.0-ALPHA, GTK 4.0-BETA, GTK 4.0-RTM in which case RTM is the final release that's stable? Why would you release an API as an X.0 that is unstable?Maybe I'm not as "with it" as I thought with open source communities but I've just never seen this (and I'm sure there are edge cases but GTK is big; seems like something important you'd want to be more stable than not that adheres strictly to semver).
