Hi there
we definitely need to reduce the matrix we have and cleanup branches ...
so I reduced the matrix (no more 14,15)
and only '3.3.x','3.6.x'

Furthermore, we need to clean up unused branches.
What about removing branches older than 1yo?
Then older than 6months?

Nowadays there are a lot of branches created by Dependabot.
I think it's good to update dependencies more frequently than we currently do. But we shouldn't be building all those branches on Jenkins immediately, and without (human) review. There's a risk of unreviewed code being ran on Jenkins. Also, as we can see from this situation, it creates so many branches that are never cleaned up.

If there would be a way to prevent those branches being built, that would definitely save space in the build queue. All branches start with dependabot/, but I haven't found a way yet to filter those out.

Thanks,

Maarten

Dear Maven developers,

please fix or disable your CI builds ... other people need to use the
servers as well and in particular those who need to test jobs as part of
their job migration.

@INFRA: Maybe confine all Maven Jobs to a single specific slave for the
time being? That way, they only starve themselves.

Cheers,
