@TheAssassin what if we tie AppImage type and AppImage header?
If there is ever to be a "Type 4" that changes the overall format, I would imagine there will still be an AppImage header, and thus the major version could be bumped on it.
If the AppImage header is removed in its entirety, that is fairly unambiguous as well.
So in short:
There is a runtime, a header, and a payload.
The header is versioned (semantic).
Payloads know to be compatible against MAJOR.MINOR versions of a header, with patch being there for debugging purposes.
If Major is ever bumped, the runtimes need to be updated.
The version of the runtime is entirely unrelated, and it may contain a piece of information like "can handle header versions 3.9.X".
