One place says they have order A+B+C, other place says they have order
C+B+A or whatever other combination. Look at first element: A ! = C. So
they do not match.

Where do you have maxItems? I see only minItems.

You are breaking the ABI, so I am questioning. I don't see ABI break
explained in the commit msg.

Your schema does not define that.

I assumed they follow same order. If you have different order, the top
defines only widest constraints.
