Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/150

Section 10 states (emphasis added):

Build metadata SHOULD be ignored when determining version precedence.

And Section 11 states:

Build metadata does not figure into precedence.

For these statements to have greater consistency, I think Section 10 should state:

Build metadata MUST be ignored when determining version precedence.

@toddreed for future reference, if you add "closes #150" Where 150 is the issue number, in your commit message or in the body of the pull request, it'll close the issue automatically when the PR is merged. :)
