About migrating packages from private registry to the General registry

My team has developed several Julia packages that have already evolved to a relatively stable version, i.e., not v0.1. They’ve been working well for commercial cases, and we’ve just decided to make some packages public to contribute to the community.

We decide to make our packages available by everyone for free, but we get anxious about whether the package version has to change to v0.1 again if we want to register our closed-source package in the General registry.

These packages are already relied by our commercial products and might get broken if the their versions are not compatible between General and the company’s private registry.

Is it possible to registry a package in General that begins with a version like v0.5.4?
If not, are there any alternatives to achieve the following goals:

1. migrating our packages from private registry to General

2. avoiding breaking our commercial products (which were designed to have good forward compatibility)
