Technically a semver-majorPRs that contain breaking changes and should be released in the next major version. but i'm inclined to say it's acceptable.

Intermittent GHA outages, it's going to be a fun day...

Looks like this will need a push of some description to (hopefully) trigger the workflows.

@lpinca @Renegade334 @avivkeller Could review this failed test again ? Would this prevent this pr from landing ?
