remove all `dev=true` feature flag from the main branch that are on prod for more than 14 days

[yesyash]

Issue Description

• we have a lot of features under the feature flag that have been live on prod for a long time but not removed from the feature flag, making it hard to develop new features / fix existing bugs as there are a lot of flows that need to be considered before making a change.
• we need to remove all feature flags that have been live on prod for more than 14 days.
• we also need to remove the feature flags from other repos where they are being used

Doubts

1. How to identify that a feature flag has been live on prod for more than 14 days? (My guess is by checking when the PR was merged on the prod branch)
2. Do we need to keep only the dev == true flows?
