OK, but then it's not semantic versioning (as btcdrak claims).

I think the question has already been answered for you by the companies
that build on top of it, the investments being made and the $3.5 billion
market cap. The 1.0.0 tag is probably long overdue.
Then you could start using the version as a signaling mechanism.
> We're horribly stressed-out as is.
Yeah, probably not a very important topic right now.

I'll interpret the question as "why is the Bitcoin Core software s=
till <1.0.0". Bitcoin the currency doesn't have a version, the =
block/transaction versions are at v3/v1 respectively, and the highest netwo=
rk protocol version is 70011.<br>
<br>
Mostly because we don't use the numbers as a signaling mechanism. They =
just count up, every half year.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, one'd have to ask hard questions like 'is the software m=
ature enough to be called 1.0.0', which would lead to long arguments, a=
ll of which would eventually lead to nothing more than potentially increasi=
ng a number. We're horribly stressed-out as is.<br>
