 ## What changes will be included?
 
-To see a list of breaking changes merge candidates you can look at the [`core` label](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Acore+is%3Apr). This label is applied whenever a PR is raised or changed, but only if the PR includes changes to core areas of QMK Firmware. A PR with that label applied is not guaranteed to be merged in the current cycle. New changes might be added between now and when `develop` is closed, and it is generally the responsibility of the submitter to handle conflicts. There is also another label used by QMK Collaborators -- `breaking_change_YYYYqN` -- which signifies to maintainers that it is a strong candidate for inclusion, and should be prioritised for review.

 If you want your breaking change to be included in this round you need to create a PR and have it accepted by QMK Collaborators before `develop` closes. After `develop` closes, new submissions will be deferred to the next breaking changes cycle.
