Versioning Standards for the kernl() ecosystem

The kernl() ecosystem utilizes a versioning approach of paradigm.major.minor.

Example: kernl-wp 1.3.0 (with a dev dependency of kernl-lib ~1.3.0)

Where kernl(ui) may be versioned with minor and majors out of sync of the rest of the ecosystem, kernl(wp) and kernl(lib) should be synchronized at all times.

When the kernl(wp) theme is extended for special projects, the version scheme follows the principle above, but is appended with a build suffix of +major.minor.

Example: kernl-registrar 1.3.0+1.0
