I think most reasonable people will say that there is a difference
between branches which were used for development forks and have been
merged (such as this, "feature branches" in git), and maintenance
branches such as gnome-2-26.  Feature branches which have been merged
can and probably should be killed from the repository unless there is a
reason to keep them, but long term maintenance branches should be
preserved.
