GitHub user raboof added a comment to the discussion: Should we allow 'mixed 
versioning'?

I don't know how strictly we plan to follow semver. For Akka, we've been using 
it quite loosely, e.g. allowing new features in a patch release, and this has 
served us well. If we continue down that path, loosening the version check 
doesn't make sense.

If we start following semver more strictly, and releasing 'minor' versions more 
often, that means we'll be reaping fewer benefits from our binary 
compatibility, putting pressure on us to release 'satellite' projects more 
often, and possibly even releasing multiple version lines of various 
components. I'm not sure that's the right choice.
