> loopback's version should include all future releases compatible with current version. According to semver specification, that means all minor 1.x versions.

This is correct. We should probably release the upcoming `loopback#1.9` changes as `2.0`, move juggler 1.6.0 to 2.0 to follow semver.

The problem with that is we give up the right to introduce many changes we have been talking about that required breaking backwards compatibility. I guess those can be made as `2.x`.
