I am not a fan of increasing MINOR when adding functionality as it seems to create a fork and two versions to maintain, correct? In addition people stay on the previous version forever as they often have something like "^4.3" in composer. What are your thoughts?
Also in regards to the upcoming release - we bumped compatibility from D9.3 + D10 to D10.2 + D11. What would be your preferred new version number?

There is no need to maintain two versions. We just increase the minor version and move on.

This always allow non-breaking updates.

Obviously - sorry I worked the night and am pretty tired.

Yeah I did that last time, it means unpublishing the last release - AFAIK creating new minor versions creates multiple published versions.

Alright thanks for your input.
Regarding this issue: I won't be creating new minor versions for minor new features. I'll try to stick to the other things you pointed out though.
