Description:
Roles can now have human readable descriptions alongside the role name. This may be useful on larger sites to document why a role exists and why you might want to grant it to a user (or alternatively why you might not want to do this).
Correspondingly, \Drupal\user\RoleInterface has gained two new methods:
public function getDescription(): string;
public function setDescription(string $description): static;
These are used to get and set the description respectively on a Role entity.
Impacts:
Site builders, administrators, editors
Module developers
Site templates, recipes and distribution developers
