Hi, Bilge!
I think that PHP should then clearly explain what is a BC break and
what isn't on a separate php.net page.
And even explain what php version constraints are safe for Composer libraries.
Some languages have such a document:
-https://go.dev/doc/go1compat
-https://peps.python.org/pep-0387/
Absolutely! After some 16 years using PHP, I only recently became aware
BC breaks are acceptable in minor versions. For anyone spending
significant time in open source, I think there is a tendency to become
semver-minded and naturally assume PHP follows the same; it does not.
