Thanks to those that commented. Not much feedback, indeed. So my plan is to remove all branches other than v7-stable and master from the public git by the end of the week if there is no strong objection. It's actually something like a testbed. As Adiscon needs to maintain (like RH, Ubuntum, ... does) old versions for its customers, I can restore those branches from the Adiscon internal git if there is hard need to.
In the public git, I'll in the future think if it is really worth applying a patch to both v7-stable and master or to master only. If I think it needs to be applied to both, I'll merge up, as I always did. If there is consensus that this is a bad thing, I'll remove v7-stable as well. But from what I have read the consensus is that the majority of folks is sufficiently happy with the merge commits that result from merging up. I guess we'll see how things work out over time. And, again, if there is hard need, I can restore missing things from the Adiscon internal git.
