I remember a (brief) discussion and at least one call for nominating branches to preserve (I believe there was more than one call), which included a list that the poster (Antoine? Djirkan?) was planning to keep and the kinds of things he was planning to drop. I think it happened on python-dev rather than here, though. (Since I didn't have any branches at the time I didn't pay much attention to it.) I'm pretty sure it was mentioned again just pre-conversion, but I don't think any details were given at that time. -- R.
