I had been using the `TheYoctoJester/master-next` branch to build for `kirkstone`, but that now fails due to the `kirkstone` branch being removed from the `kacf/mender` repository. Meanwhile, the official Mender layer repository still fails to build on the `master-next` branch, due to the OpenSSL 3.0 compatibility issue that I [reported here](https://hub.mender.io/t/mender-client-with-openssl-3-0/4780). Is there a working branch that can be used for ongoing testing? Any further update on the timeline for a `kirkstone` release?
