The issue with Semantic Versioning

Semantic Versioning(SemVer) is a version number system that proposes a simple versioning scheme: v<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>[<ADDITIONAL>](I will prepend a literal v when referring to a SemVer number). Straight from their page: MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes An example of a SemVer is v1.11.3, or v0.0.3. What is wrong here? Semantic versioning is pretty good!
