I'm fine with doing 1.x releases forever. It's worked for a lot of
other projects, and it's the least confusing option compared to
changing systems.
Major version number changes often are taken to mean that:
- this release is incompatible with the last (new db schema, new APIs?)
- something's changed that should make everyone should reconsider any
product decisions for or against.
Even if you don't mean anything by the number change, a lot of people
are going to assume you mean this.
So you should think carefully before doing this. A major version change
requires at the very least lots of documentation, marketing, blog posts,
etc.
