I admit, not having published a haskell package yet, that I've only done a shallow reading of the PVP - is it actually incompatible with semantic versioning or orthogonal? That is, is it possible in the general case to adhere to both? If not, are they incompatible in most cases or very few?
This is the biggest difference (quote from semver.org):
"Major version X (X.y.z | X > 0) MUST be incremented if any backwards incompatible changes are introduced to the public API. It MAY include minor and patch level changes. Patch and minor version MUST be reset to 0 when major version is incremented."
Meanwhile the PVP lets you get away with just updating the minor version there.
Oh, I realize that PVP does not require everything semantic versioning does. It sounds like PVP requires nothing semantic versioning forbids, nor vice-versa? In which case, you could (and, I would assert, should) follow both.
