@vmiss33 Regarding the versioning mystery of PowerCLI in your blog post... There were 3 main reasons that I chose to go with 10.0...
1. We needed to diverge from vSphere versioning, as there were far too many instances where people thought they had to run the same version of PowerCLI as vSphere. Additionally, we wanted to move to semantic versioning, and version each module separately on powershell gallery.
2. With 10.0 we introduced support for PowerShell Core, which was a big deal, as you mentioned in your blog post. We had to make it a major version number change, but we knew vSphere 7 would come out soon and that would just continue the confusion around version compatability.
3. the version '10.0.0' has significance because it felt like we were starting a new era, it was a departure from the vSphere versioning scheme, and we were celebrating the 10th anniversary of the existence of PowerCLI. (Formerly known as VI Toolkit, way back in the day).
So there ya have it. The story straight from the human that made that decision! :)
