Incorrect version in package.template.json

[idleberg]

Describe the bug

All package.template.json files included in this mono repo currently use version 0.0.1 as an initial value. In my opinion, this is incorrect usage of SemVer. The specification recommends starting at 0.1.0, but doesn't rule out 0.0.0 as being a valid version. However, 0.0.1 would be a patch for 0.0.0, so it shouldn't be valid as an initial version.

I understand everyone rolling eyes over this and let me assure you I don't live to be called nitpicky. Frankly, I don't care too much how people version their software. However, in the case of a template file, I think recommendations or best practices should be followed. Don't encourage people to use the wrong versioning in their own projects, even if you don't agree. Use something that doesn't cause conflicts. Ideally, people have this on their radar, but why make it more difficult if it doesn't have to be?

Reproduction

Take a look at the following template files to find v0.0.1 in use.

packages/create-svelte/templates/default/package.template.json
packages/create-svelte/templates/skeleton/package.template.json
packages/create-svelte/templates/skeletonlib/package.template.json

I didn't put 0.0.1 there, but agree with whoever did and the next answer on the stackoverflow you linked to of:

There are no rules here and conventions are loose.

This really doesn't matter and anyone who wants to change it can. 0.0.1 seems totally correct and fine to me
