[Article idea] Different kinds of Breaking Changes

[matks]

@ttoine @eternoendless

Recently I add a discussion on Twitter where the topic of PrestaShop slow BC cycle was discussed. I thought it would be interesting to explain how hard it is to deal with Breaking Changes, especially the different kind of BC (database change, folder renaming ...).

Would it be a good idea for the PrestaShop Build blog, or would it be too specific (and then I'll write this article on my own blog) ?

The article would explain that code BC are easy to deal with when handled properly with deprecations mechanisms, but some other BC are a lot harder to deal with for module, theme and shops developers : database structure changes, folder renaming, dependencies upgrade/modification

Note: another idea, to talk with a really technical audience, is to publish on dev.to as PrestaShop team
