I personally find that this to be confusing & a little superfluous... I think the current description is fine and we probably don't want to inflate the docs further.

I would have helped me. And it seems I'm not the first it would have helped https://github.com/testing-library/react-hooks-testing-library/issues/832 https://github.com/testing-library/react-hooks-testing-library/issues/826 https://github.com/testing-library/react-hooks-testing-library/issues/842. But if you think it doesn't help others then feel free to close it.

I spent almost a full day pulling my hair out, as all the tests broke after upgrading - error messages, as always, unhelpful.

This may be totally obvious to people who've been working with testing-library for a while - I just dropped into a project and was asked to upgrade react to 18, and I've never used testing-library, so I don't have that context.

I had to read through numerous long issues, to finally find the explanation at the end of a long issue thread, pointing to this PR.

There's no reason for anyone else to go through that pain - I suggest you get this merged right away.

Couldn't agree more :)
