I agree with Geir in that I think that we should have kept the branch; even though it is widely accepted that we will not extend it with a patch, it's just good form to do things in a consistent standard way.

What confused me when I responded to Dain's original request was the QA suffix.

Right, so deleting doesn't remove anything.

I think that hiding our history like this is a bad idea, and will lead to even more confusion - if you don't want to make a mistake and work on a branch accidentally, don't check it out.

Anyway, I can't see how removing the branch will prevent mistakes while leaving the tag entry there. It looks the same.

Just to remind everyone, svn doesn't have branches or tags and nothing is ever gone or deleted, everything is still around, and at any point in time we can patch an old release if we feel it's really necessary.
