I can tell from a mile away that this is written by ChatGPT / Claude, at least partially.

"This distinction played a crucial role in our upgrade planning and execution strategy."

"Navigating Challenges in the MySQL Upgrade Journey"

"Finally, minimizing manual intervention during the upgrade process was crucial."

That sounds like regular old English to me. I could see myself saying all those things without thinking it's pushing any boundaries whatsoever. I'm starting to fear that LLMs are going to dumb down our language in the same way that people feared that calculators would remove our ability to calculate mentally.
