He talks about APIs versioning, but APIs are only a small part of the problem. How about the hundreds of libraries that my site is built with for example? Semver allows me to specify rules in my package file about whether to take only the exact version that I want, the latest patch, or the latest minor version. I didn't spot anything in the article that showed a better way of doing that.
