A major version bump is rather heavy handed when no one is asking for a "real" 2.0 with breaking changes. A major bump would imply a package name and Maven coordinate change. At least that's what we have done before for major version changes. We've also done major version changes without those types of changes BUT it would be nice to be consistent. For example, to update to Java 11 for Commons Lang without a package name change would mean calling it 4.0 while the package stays as lang3, confusing.
