Dependabot now ignores semver-major updates on master, and also tracks the wicket-9.x and wicket-8.x maintenance branches (minor/patch only). Major upgrades (e.g. Jakarta EE 11, tinymce 8, datatables 3) are done deliberately in a new major of WicketStuff.

Existing major-bump PRs (#1227, #1419, #1487, #1519, #1551) are left open for that purpose.

Ignore semver-major updates on master, wicket-9.x and wicket-8.x so
major upgrades are done deliberately, and add maintenance branches.

Hello @dashorst,
I propose to cut wicket-10.x branch from the 7f9a3c8 commit (pre-module-removing)

and re-create this PR based on the new branch and the fact this would be last release for wicket-8.x/wicket-9.x branches ....

aha,
you already announce new modules wouldn't be part of 10.x anymore
ok :)
I'll create wicket-10.x branch from the current HEAD then :)

Yeah, I might have jumped the gun on that, but seriously: those modules were dead weight. If someone really was using those, they need to have a sit down and a talking to about software maintenance. I don't think anyone was using them who is on wicket-10.x. And they still can use it, but they have to include the software themselves, or keep it on the last wicketstuff-core 10.x release. Nothing wrong with that as well.
