Proposal: use semver for ansible-core

Author: Felix Fontein @felixfontein

Date: 2021-05-01

Motivation

Basically what #179 said.

Problems

It will avoid the false assumption by some people that 2.x.0 releases do not have breaking changes. Also then ansible-core will use the same versioning scheme that the Ansible package is using, and that's used by most collections.

Solution proposal

Basically shift the version numbers by one: instead of 2.x.Y, release X.0.Y (assuming each major version will not receive new features). Then everyone who understands semver knows what to expect.

Anything else?

This is basically #179 but targeted at ansible-core, since the Ansible package already did the shift to semver.

Most discussions of #179 would now apply to ansible-core, as of now there are no plans to change the versioning scheme.
