Removing a Query parameter is considered a breaking change while removing a Request Body parameter isn't #412
Description
While testing this tool, we've noticed that removing a query parameter would give a API changes broke backward compatibility result while removing a request body parameter would return a API changes are backward compatible. Shouldn't both be breaking changes?
If this is expected, we'd be curious to understand why that is.
Here are the spec files we used to test this:
