I think we should amend the specification to allow BREAKING CHANGE: with any commit type (right now we indicate that a BREAKING CHANGE should be a fix, or feat).

I'm finding as I drop Node 0.10/0.12 support on some libraries, I have chore commits that are breaking.

Yes, see https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/5672
BTW, dropping Node 0.10/0.12 support should probably be a ci

@bcoe I agree with this. I think one should try for BREAKING CHANGEs to be a fix or feat, but we need to accept that even dependency changes can be flagged as breaking when one takes stability & semver seriously.

@bcoe Agreed, we have lots of precedent both in our own projects and in the community. standard-version has a BREAKING chore too (node 0.10/0.12).
