Wait, does urlib not use semvar? Don't remove APIs on minor releases people. A major release doesn't have to be a problem or a major redesign, you can do major release 400 for all I care, just don't break things on minor releases.

Lots of things not using semvar that I always just assumed did.

The industry has a solution for the exact problem the urllib is having (semver). Urllib just actively refuses to use it.
