This is why I’ve been arguing against rebase merges. If we aren’t super careful with older branches, we end up with messes like this.
Maybe just squash and merge in the future?
I don’t know, this whole situation could have been avoided if people would just check with the team before merging stuff. I think people see revisions from old releases so they just merge them because they “worked before” so they should work now. It doesn’t work for the current userbase, frankly it didn’t work all that well for most users back when it was released the first time. Just merging any old crap straight into main without reading it so they can brag about how many PRs they close.
