Releasing a version is way too complex

Describe the bug
When I do a squash commit and write "BREAKING CHANGES" in the footer, I expect that it's going to be a major release. Not minor, and not patch as well. Just major.

When I do a minor release, by typing "feat:" in the commit title, I expect there to be only a minor release, no patch releases.

It would be great to see that a release version is carried out across all affected packages. Think WYSIWYG principle. It's better to have multiple smaller PR's, if granularity is a concern, than trying to have a smart system that consistently deploys incorrect versions which may cause dependents to have a bad day.

Suggested change:

  • commit title feat!: msg causes a major release in all affected packages
  • commit title feat: msg causes a minor release in all affected packages
  • commit title fix: msg causes a patch release in all affected packages
  • drop requirement to have BREAKING CHANGES: msg in the footer, and keep release logic consistent and unified.

Just to put as a reference/example, release-please works in this way
