My latest results show that ~3600 packages fail PEP 386 versioning,
with ~5400 failing semantic versioning:

Packages processed: 24882
Packages with no versions: 217
Number of packages clean for all schemes: 19004
Number of packages clean for normalized (PEP 386): 21066
Number of packages clean for legacy (setuptools): 24666
Number of packages clean for semantic (semver): 19271

Where "clean" means that all versions of the packages are valid for a particular
scheme.
