- [ ] The oldest maintained release branch will now no longer be maintained.
Prepare an update PR for the `main` branch to remove references to that
branch. This may involve modifying documentation, code comments and
configuration for GitHub or Renovate.
- `git grep vX.Y-2`

Background timing to this is:

Branching usually happens around the start of the month. Means that the final release for the oldest branch happens 2 weeks after branching. We can't disable the main branch references to oldest stable as part of stable branch creation.

We then do the stable release in the middle of the month. That includes the final release for the to-be-EOL stable branch.

Then typically we do the new minor around the end/start of the month. At that point we can for sure remove all the references to the old branch.

We still need to keep this and I need to check for v1.17 in main branch. (I think Julian did for renovate)
