They are not meaningless counters if you give them a meaning; that's
what semantic versioning is about.

That again is why there is semantic versioning. If you follow the rules
there, incrementing the major version number means you changed something
in an incompatible way, so people know about it when they get the new
release.

What I'm asking about is whether anyone knows of a smoothe way to
transition users from local/netmount to mount.<filesystem> dependencies,
without breaking systems. If that doesn't exist, 1.0 will have to sit in
p.mask until major packages catch up.
