Matt Glaman: Drupal module semantic versioning for Drupal core support

A large amount of our time during the Drupal 10 readiness effort was around semantic version discussions. Folks were creating new major versions to add Drupal 10 support while dropping Drupal 9 simultaneously. Technically that follows the semantic versioning guidelines but is a horrible user experience. Users must update the module when they upgrade Drupal core to Drupal 10. Ideally, users could update their modules first and then upgrade Drupal core.

This blog post is taken from part of my talk "Lessons learned from helping port the top contrib projects to Drupal 10." It is also inspired by my coworker Jakob Perry's blog post, "Don’t go making major version changes."
