How this is decided

A release appears here because the word breaking is in the notes its publisher wrote, not because anyone here read the diff. That cuts both ways. A release that changed an API without using the word is missing from this page, and a release that used the word about something minor is on it. It is the publisher’s own signal, reported rather than judged, which is the same rule the security page follows.
