-//! Major version number. Should be incremented in the master branch before

+//! @brief Major and minor version numbers
+//!
+//! Versioning uses a cruder form of SemVer where the major number is
+//! incremented with all significant changes, regardless of whether they are
+//! backward compatible, and the minor number is treated like a patch level and
+//! only incremented when a fix or backport is applied to an old branch.
+
+//! Major version number. Should be incremented after any release or external
+//! usage of the library (like a subtree update) so the previous number
+//! identifies that release. Should also be incremented before any change that
+//! breaks backward compatibility or introduces nontrivial features, so
+//! downstream code can use it to detect compatibility.
 //!
 //! Each time this is incremented, a new stable branch should be created. E.g.
 //! when this is incremented to 8, a "v7" stable branch should be created
 //! pointing at the prior merge commit. The /doc/versions.md file should also be
 //! updated, noting any significant or incompatible changes made since the
-//! previous version, and backported to the stable branch before it is tagged.
