Please clarify this.
Users on older mysql will hit connection error immediately after
upgrading to 8.6. So saying "their software could continue to work" is
misleading. Their PHP code must be modified before upgrading - turning
PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT to false or removing it entirely. And only after
that it would continue to work.
