Description
Issue #6784 used Dependabot to automatically update dependencies of the project. In this Dependabot rule, we excluded new major versions since they most likely contain breaking changes.
We are still interested in getting notified when a new major version is available so we can look into it. We recommend not creating an automatic PR since it will most likely fail because of breaking changes.
Task:
- Adjust Dependabot so we can get notifications when a new major version of a certain dependency is out.
