There was also tons of changes around 2015-2016, very often 
packages older than 2016 simply won't work, some language changes 
from that period makes it non trivial to upgrade such code.
No examples, sorry, but one thing I remember was module ctors and 
shared variables issues when upgrading old package to 2019 
compiler.
