I have a big yard, but I don't think it'd be enough to house and feed a pony.
I may have to content myself with a photo. :)
A middle ground that has worked for me is that between my own packages I just use the first digit of the major version. If the bulk of the API is unlikely to break in the 1.x regime, putting a bound of text < 2 would permit large breaking changes to be signaled in the future, while still removing most of the headaches of day to day version bumps forced on you by the pvp.
