@Kurt-von-Laven Kurt-von-Laven commented May 11, 2022

The previous wording can be misinterpreted to suggest that GitHub Actions itself automatically tags major versions. Also, remove assurance that pinning the major version protects your workflow from breaking. This is only true if the action you depends on never introduces any bugs that affect you. In other words, it's false in practice.

Why:

Closes #17071.

What's being changed:

See rich diff.

Check off the following:

  • I have reviewed my changes in staging (look for "Automatically generated comment" and click Modified to view your latest changes).
  • For content changes, I have completed the self-review checklist.

Writer impact (This section is for GitHub staff members only):

  • This pull request impacts the contribution experience
    • I have added the 'writer impact' label
    • I have added a description and/or a video demo of the changes below (e.g. a "before and after video")

The previous wording can be misinterpreted to suggest that GitHub
Actions itself automatically tags major versions.

Also, remove assurance that pinning the major version protects your
workflow from breaking. This is only true if the action you depends on
never introduces any bugs that affect you. In other words, it's false in
practice.
