I've been saying for over a year now we should just drop the 1. from the 1.x.y release versions. So the next release would be 25.0, 26.0, etc etc.
-1 from me, for what little that's worth...
It would allow us to follow semver and still retain our current version number history instead of waiting for a magical 2.0.
This logic is the opposite of semver. Semver says you only bump the major version number when you make a breaking change. Since breaking changes are Bad Things, therefore bumping the major version number is also a Bad Thing. It is something that you should strive to *avoid* having to do.
Except that every 1.x release *does* contain breaking changes. If we followed semver we would be bumping the major version, but we don't.
