I will never understand why people care about how many branches I have...
They are needed because different Kodi version have different requirements so the branches are used to keep development separate. I will keep every Kodi version that I work on from Helix and up. Any other branches are for me or testing or whatever I feel like using them for
To explain in more detail:
Every Kodi version has, sometime significant, changes to the skinning engine so you cannot add the changes for K*** to Isengard or Jarvis since they would be incompatible. Branches make it easier to keep up with Kodi skinning engine changes while not abandoning older versions.
