Comment (by bpetty):

 This is likely because NPM packages are
 [https://npmjs.org/doc/files/package.json.html#version required] to use
 semantic versioning themselves. This isn't Bower-specific.

 I would also like to see this myself anyway though because when you do
 mirror core SVN using git-svn yourself
 [https://github.com/tierra/wordpress like I have], and don't use the hack
 that the official GitHub mirror does to rename branches with `-branch`
 appended, you end up with both a branch named `3.8` and a tag also named
 `3.8` even though they are two very different things. Git still supports
 this fine, but ends up requiring you to explicitly specify which you want
 like `git checkout refs/tags/3.8`. It can be confusing sometimes.
