No bashing of TYPO3, I work with TYPO3 everyday, we run several websites and portals using it. But sometimes I get really annoyed that breaking changes occur on the patch level. I also have to say that it is hard to maintain, especially if you want to upgrade to the next LTS. I see great benefits for bigger companys but I understand that it is not the first choice for individuals or small/medium companies.

I can't remember the last patch level change that was breaking and not security related. Which one do you mean?

Example: Form framework. Trying to update to v8.7.11 and finding out, that I have to adapt my own form elements to the changing field partial (typo3.org/article/typo3-8711-and-7...). You may say that this is a small change but for someone who just wants to update to the next patch without worries this is horrible. Hard to explain the extra work to someone else like my boss.
