;) didn’t say it’s perfect, just that it’s widely used and we should support it.
I like the “fantasy" as it at least tries to give some kind of a meaning to version numbers.
Sorry for not going into the details here, but that would quickly lead away from my main point.

> This is not to say that Semver does not improve the situation when it can be used.

I definitely think it does, i’ll count that as half a vote for it ;)
