Making MQTT even harder to understand after upgrade

Installation Home Assistant OS

So since the upgrade to 84.2 I now have a botched MQTT service…Having read through the breaking changes I see you now have to add more code to yaml to make MQTT work ( Mqtt light refactor #18227)…I have absolutely no idea what this change implies…it was hard enough before to understand as it is but made even harder by the implementation of shema templates and json…Where the hell do I start…and code writers if you are upgrading please have a thought for those not on your level…it’s very hard to understand…things should get easier nor harder with new versions…!!
Can you have schema template and json as one entry or are they separated how does this equate in this script.
