Breaking Changes notifications: Research & user feedback
Goal
By the end of %15.4, this issue will contain a list of potential solutions that will allow GitLab to be more visible and proactive with how we message breaking changes. Ideally, each potential solution also has some level of user feedback we can use to judge preference and potential efficacy.
Options
In no particular order, here are options investigated so far. Note that these are not mutually exclusive. It it likely best to use multiple modes of communication for breaking changes. Certain methods may be more appropriate depending on where the breakage will occur (APIs for example).
