Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 08 2025 at 02:18): Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 08 2025 at 02:18):What are the opinions of deleting all branches older than like a month old? Now that the rust compiler is no longer being worked on, those branches have no meaning. (if a branch is needed it can be restored, but likely these are all stale)

Luke Boswell (Mar 08 2025 at 02:28):It doesn't hurt to leave them there right?
I think we should wait until we see more evidence the zig compiler is going to work out. I'm not sure what that looks like. But there is a nonzero chance we still want the rust branches right?
Luke Boswell (Mar 08 2025 at 02:29):I guess if they can be restored easily.. than its kind of a wash
Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 08 2025 at 02:35):Yeah, they can easily be restored and most of them are so stale that they likely should be deleted even if we go back to the rust compiler
Anthony Bullard (Mar 10 2025 at 13:58):Deleting old branches that are merged is definitely fine. I'd be a little wary of deleting old branches that have open PRs on them though
Brendan Hansknecht (Mar 10 2025 at 15:52):We closed all the old rust compiler open PRs. So basically none of the branches have PRs attached.
