    @spmallette this is because right now, revapi is configured to allow 
breaking changes on minor version increase. The branch builds a 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT 
and is compared against the latest release - 3.2.4. That means that revapi 
basically allows any change to go through.
    
    If in the root pom, you change the config to only allow 
`potentiallyBreaking` changes on minor version increase, you will see quite a 
list of breakages ;)

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: build-release

> Tinkerpop 3.2.2 changed the signature of the method 
> {{GraphTraversal.hasLabel}} from {{(String...)}} to {{(String, String...)}}. 
> While this is certainly an improvement, it is both source and binary 
> incompatible change.
> I.e. even if every usage of {{hasLabel}} had at least one parameter in the 
> user code, none of those calls will work until all the user code is 
> recompiled using Tinkerpop 3.2.2.
> I don't know the versioning policy of Tinkerpop but changes like the above in 
> a micro/patch release are generally unexpected.
> Please consider API checkers like http://revapi.org to warn about such 
> incompatible API changes...
