Isn't dropping support for a PHP version a BC break and should cause a major version update?
No. Why not? The Doctrine project explains it nicely:A BC break happens when there is an incompatible change that your package manager can't handle. For example, changing a method signature in a minor version is a no-go, since the composer version constraints mentioned above assume any minor upgrade can safely be used. However, when we drop support for an older version of PHP, composer will not consider the new version if the PHP version requirement is no longer fulfilled. Thus, you won't end up with a fatal error due to a wrong method signature, you just won't get the new version.
