Addition of optional query parameters should not be considered as BREAKING CHANGE

[dloibl]

Hi,

adding optional query parameters, i.e. required: false is considered as breaking change, but it shouldn't.
Here is a minimal example to reproduce:

original.yaml

openapi: 3.1.0
paths:
  /api/foo:
    get:
      responses:
        '200':
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                type: object
                properties:
                  name:
                    type: string

changed.yaml

paths:
  /api/foo:
    parameters:
      - foo:
          in: query
          name: foo
          schema:
            type: string
          required: false
    get:
      responses:
        '200':
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                type: object
                properties:
                  name:
                    type: string

output:
