Https-everywhere: What is the function of the release branch?

17672 got me thinking: what is the function of the release branch? To me it sounds highly redundant with the git release tags.

If it serves no purpose, it might be easier to delete it. It would prevent new contributors from being confused about which branch they should target it their PR (as in #17672).

The release branch is a predictable place for the Atlas to look for the latest release, which it needs in order to tell what's new as compared to master

It always points to the last release.
