Re: [keycloak-dev] Some branches are gone?

With a new minor release of Keycloak every 6 weeks that ends up being a lot of dead branches to keep around. Removing them makes it clear they are no longer maintained and stops people from sending PRs to them (this regularly happens). Why not just base your branch of the Final tag?

(In case it was announced - it was IMHO not stressed enough). Some folks (including me) based their internal forks of Keycloak on top of a "maintenance branch" like 2.1.x expecting to be able to channel compatible fixes / patches into the said custom fork. With those maintenance branches now gone - this model no longer works. Given that keycloak has now over 500 forks I guess that I'm not the only one who followed that model. I would suggest to keep some maintenace branches for previous versions (e.g. 2.1.x) around to enable users to upgrade their forks in a timely manner.

Only the 1.9.x & master branches are left :( Did someone accidentally remove those branches?
