    I am not convinced that a metadata update like a Status advancement warrants a bump of MINOR, also see: #2143 (review)

    I think a status update is reasonably significant.

    For instance, "Version 1.0.0 is used for promotion to Complete" -- so it arguably doesn't make sense that the other status updates would be patch.
