Is Semantic Versioning an Anti-Pattern?

I'm not sure I understand your argument. If someone's not going to backport a v2.1 fix to v1.6, why would they backport a v20170106-1009 fix to v201610-1005?

I'm not sure what you are saying. My argument is that it is a myth that most things will get only security updates.

That is, the version scheme States the point is to somehow be in a position to get only security updates. However, unless there is an org specifically for maintaining a library, your only hope of getting updates is to take all updates. So, to stay on the latest.

I think I must have got myself confused at some point, disregard my previous comment.
