Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

We have an "api change" label to indicate breaking API changes, but this doesn't seem appropriate for indicating changes to query execution behavior that produce different results when compared to earlier releases.

I wonder if we should add a "breaking change" label as well?
