Anything changed with `AttributeDisambiguationRule` behaviour since gradle 8.11?

Sounds like a bug if there would really be a breaking change in a minor version. What behavior change do you see?

<https://github.com/sonatype-nexus-community/scan-gradle-plugin/issues/175>

Generally it sounds to me like a very bad idea anyway, that the register a disambiguation rule for an attribute that they do not define.

Why do they need to do that anyway?
From the original stacktrace I see that the configuration is named something with `sonatypeCopy...` so I guess they use something like `Configuration#copyRecursive` like the `gradle-versions-plugin` is doing.
I remember that plugin also did have problems in the past as that did not copy the attributes necessary for resolving along and they needed to be copied over manually after copying.
Maybe that plugin has similar problems and just used a custom disambiguation rule as duct-tape which they shouldn't have been doing to begin with?

But anyway, do I'm at least not aware something should have changed, do you have an MCVE where it works with 8.10 but fails with 8.11?

Thanks! It is a big closed project. Let me see if I can come with something reproducible.
