With semantic versioning b/c is allowed. For example version 8.0.0 vs 7.x.x
-- version 8.0.0 could include major breaking changes (since it is a major
version number change). This allows a language to evolve and grow with the
needs of the users.
If PHP is so
rigid that NO B/C are allowed (regardless of major version
changes) then PHP is overtly rigid and I predict it will ultimately become
extinct.
