That being said a module it not a git repo. There are pre-publish hooks that can be used to execute scripts before publishing. Further, tracking off of git introduces an entirely new set of problems from tracking tar balls. I can see why the team would not be particularly interested in investing time in it.

That was the parent's criticism. Other systems do increment semver.
