DMD would not be semver compliant even if it dropped the extra 0. 
As such, it's probably good that it has it in there, so people 
don't think it's semver just because it has a version number with 
three numbers.

DMD breaks compatibility in minor changes. It's not semver, it's 
more like dmd2-19.04.
