Hi.

I appreciate your efforts on giving developers a common tool for articulating code changes via version numbers. In that difficult area in the coding field fixed semantics are of real value.

Reading 1.0.0-rc.1 of your Semantic Versioning Specification I wondered, what the purpose of rule 3 is. With the exception of the given examples all specified behavior is repeated in the end of rules 8 and 9.

Could this not be condensed in any way?

Best Regards

Thomas
