I'm a little confused. Of the commits linked which seem to be the "breaking changes", two seem to be entirely documentation updates that are 90% changing the title casing.

The remainder seem to be around updating the pipeline/other files to specify support for php 7.2-7.4 instead of 7.4+8.0 and a bunch of other documentation (phpdoc) changes.

What are the drastic breaking changes thusfar?

October 2.0 was based off of the code base as of a year ago, so everything that was added to the project in the past year was removed in 2.0. As far as breaking changes in the 1.0 & 1.1 branches go the links are mostly talking about the docs changes that indicated the removal of the recent changes; but there are some that actually cause problems for current projects that aren't upgrading, such as the removal of the wikimedia-merge-plugin which is required for plugins to load their dependencies smoothly.

And wait ... they create bugs in the 1.1.x branch with the 2.0.X and encourage users to migrate to avoid them :

"If we discover what broke it, happy to backport the fix, but it appears broken due to some introduced reason that I'm not aware of

...

Please test in v2.0 and let me know if it still happens. Thanks"
