    12 How if you're a Django Core Maintainer and live and breathe Django, the above probably looks harmless to you. However if you're not "in the know" that Django named it 3.1 instead of 3.1.0, the above looks kinda like a loosely defined install. The mere existence of 3.1 and 3.1.2 creates just enough ambiguity to be  uncertain about which version is actually installed. The thought process is like "I know 3.1.2 exists so why would 3.1.0 not exists? "

    1414By using consistent semver (or any version style) you can remove this tiny amount of ambiguity and create 100% certainty and confidence.
