Re:Go Replaces Interface{} with 'Any'

In my opinion, significant additive changes are addressed more poorly than any other aspect of semver, regardless of the project scope.
Additive changes can be breaking changes quite easily, as those additions are adopted within a minor version range, as automated tooling needs to distinguish their presence, as documentation fragments.
My next biggest gripe with semver—that 0.y.z has entirely different semantics from any other major version—may actually be semantically better if adopted wholesale. If your interface changes, major version bump. Else you’re fixing bugs or otherwise striving to meet extant expectations.
