+# Versioning
+
+When we reach 1.0, we will just adhere to [semantic
+versioning](http://semver.org/) strictly, but semver says nothing about
+versions `<1.0.0`. Thus we extend semver's rules applying them to these
+versions this way: in `0.minor.patch` scheme `minor` acts as a major semver
+version and `patch` as both minor and patch, regardless of whether a change is
+a feature or a bugfix.
+
+Accordingly, if labels named `semver-major` or `semver-minor` are added to any
+issue or pull-request before we have released `v1.0.0`, they actually assume
+minor and patch subversions.
