Yes, you’d have to change the definition of a major release from “breaking change” to “big change.” Your normal releases would increment the minor version, security fixes would increment the patch version, and big changes would increment the major. Whether something is “big” is pretty subjective, but they provide an opportunity for marketing.
Or if we want to go with something objective and simple, the major release would correspond to an ESR release, which happens about once/year.
The purpose here is to make the numbers mean something rather than “number goes up.” If you ask me what was in Firefox 120, I would have no idea because large numbers are harder to remember than smaller numbers.
