Thanks a lot for creating these branches and proposing the idea, for the reasons you listed.
We tried during this week to work with these branches with @lebeg for Android and Arm support, for the reasons listed below these branches are not useful for us, so you can delete them. 1. We don't have permissions to commit to these development branches, 2. they show merge conflicts that have been solved locally before running CI (?). I'm pretty sure I merged and resolved conflicts locally. 3. It would also pollute the repository history with continuous merges to and from these branches. I prefer to have a linear history in master so changes, regressions and bisecting can be less painful when dealing with issues. I think is important to share development and integrate small, incremental patches towards architecture support, unfortunately these branches can't help us at this stage. We will share our work through a different means and without polluting the project with additional branches which are not meant for production or general use.
