Important: 4.0 branch vs main branch and how you can help

[Julien Ponge]

We are now at a stage where the 4.0 branch is working and does prepare the upcoming Quarkus 4.0.

Until now we have done weekly merge sessions with Clément from main to 4.0 as we were moving in development mode. We have reached a state where those weekly merges are starting to be more complex, and for some parts of the code we make mistakes, and we need to reach out to the people with more intimate knowledge.

TL;DR: this is becoming painful and error prone.

What we're asking now is that if you make any significant / non-trivial PR to the main branch, then you also check its impact on 4.0. If it doesn't merge cleanly, then please also open a PR against 4.0 with what you think the correct changes are.

Thank you 😃
