Hi,

Yes, only main branch and current quarterly branch are maintained.

What you see as "Active" on github is just something github made up about what "active" means.
"Active branches: The Active view shows all branches (excluding the default branch) that anyone has committed to within the last three months, ordered by the branches with the most recent commits first." -> https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-branches-in-your-repository/viewing-branches-in-your-repository

NB: the current quarterly branch gets a bit more than only security updates, also like stability fixes.

Regards,
Ronald.

&gt; &gt; Hi,<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Where can one find a canonical information of which<br>
&gt; &gt; branches of ports tree are supported?<br>
