It is also not what was set in the branch-rules.yml files within the
metadata (which was committed by a Frameworks devel) and was not what was
confirmed by Frameworks developers when I put together the list of projects
to have KF5 master branch builds removed from the CI artifacts store.

This state of affairs has been the source of a degree of CI breakage we
have been experiencing (things are a mess at the moment, I don't even want
to look at any of it)
