Hey Guys,

Take for example http://rubygems.org/gems/rake .
We offer as a suggestion for the Gemfile
gem "rake", "~> 0.9.2.2"
But i believe this wrong. The SemVer doc says
"Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything may change
at any time. The public API should not be considered stable."
So, shouldn't rubygems suggest something like
gem "rake", "0.9.2.2"

Cheers,

This has been discussed here<https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org/issues/409>.
I agree with you but Nick doesn't, so it probably won't happen.

As Myron Marston points out, the correct answer depends on whether or not a
gem uses Semantic Versioning. Keep in mind that some projects have custom
versioning schemes that predate SemVer.
