There's a big difference between massive sweeping breaking changes, and small breaking changes. What I care about is the ability to do smaller breaking changes, and the new "major" version number that I tacked onto the front is to signify the large sweeping changes instead of the smaller breaking changes.

As user, I see no difference because result is same: code is broken. You are trying to introduce full scale for the binary thing. If breaking change is small, then delay it until next major release.
