[erlang-questions] Version numbering scheme change and the implication / Re: [ANN] Erlang/OTP 17.0-rc1 has been released.

[Andreas Schumacher]

 From the versioning clarification mail that I sent on behalf of the OTP 
team to the list on February 7:

"The new version scheme is *not* semantic versioning; although, it has 
been inspired by it. We do not want to use semantic versioning (as 
defined by http://semver.org/) out of the box since it does not fit our 
needs."
