I'm still not understanding what change you are referring to.
In both 4.x and 5.x you can set your Accounting Period to a relative date or an absolute date such as Jul 1 2024 to Jun 30 2024 and when you run reports, choose relative dates such as 'Start/End of Accounting Period' or 'start/end of previous year' which would line up with Jul 1 2023 to Jun 30 2023.
I've never seen a relative option for 2 years prior. You can always run a separate report with those absolute dates however.
But it sounds like you made your own code modifications to do something GnuCash didn't support, and now they don't work. That's not a fault of GnuCash. That's a fault of your assumption that whatever code you relied on to do it wouldn't change. Your solution isn't to insist the devs revert their changes, but to fix your own code.
Now, if any change in GnuCash *does* affect the intended and supported behavior/functions, that would be a bug.
Otherwise, reverting the change would need to have a very good case (beyond helping you avoid changing your own hack) made in an RFE.
