[keycloak-dev] Some branches are gone?

[Stian Thorgersen]

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 Removing them makes it clear they are no
longer maintained and stops people from sending PRs to them (this regularly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?
