Hm, is it "only" bugfixes? Does that mean its BC?

@Delf: this page is summarizing what to expect regarding BC very well: https://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/community/releases.html#backward-compatibility

Mainly last 4.x (4.4) version is already covering all/most features/changes of 5.0 while being BC compatible with all 4.x versions, while 5.0 will cut out those classes/methods/feautures that have been marked @deprecated in 4.x version(s)
