Prior to this PR it would tell you No changesets found if you omitted the publish script, and it was very hard to figure out what to do. It was also misleading as the only reason there were no changesets present is because they were deleted earlier in the release process

IMHO the proposed change is a major change. It's a substantial change in the default behavior. If anybody is relying on publish being an opt-in then it could have a devastating effect for them if we suddenly try to publish their packages out of a blue.

Yeah, like I'm personally using it in places where publishing is handled separately where I definitely wouldn't want this behaviour and the README documents a Without Publishing workflow which with this PR isn't accurate

Ah, thanks! I'd never used this without publishing, so sorry I missed that was a way to use this. I've updated this PR to revert to the previous behavior but update the error message

We can take another look if this is he best default behavior but that will have to be done as part of the next major release
