+New rules are incubated in the nursery group.
+Once stable, we promote them to a stable group.
+The following rules are promoted:

+- [complexity/noUselessLoneBlockStatements](https://biomejs.dev/linter/rules/no-useless-lone-block-statements)

+- [suspicious/noMisrefactoredShorthandAssign](https://biomejs.dev/linter/rules/no-misrefactored-shorthand-assign)
+
+#### Removed rules
+
+- Remove `nursery/useGroupedTypeImport`. The rule [style/useImportType](https://biomejs.dev/linter/rules/use-import-type) covers the behavior of this rule.
+
+  Note that removing a nursery rule is not considered a breaking change according to our [semantic versioning](https://biomejs.dev/internals/versioning).
