I use separate directories in devel/ to have multiple versions of the new

don't know if that counts as a yes or no to your question.
IMO it's important to note that these directories and the symlink are
managed by you (afaik), and are not ingrained into Sage's concept of
what is there. This is in contrast to the Sage library, which actually
causes Sage to refuse to start up unless there is a symlink
$SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage pointing to a directory called
$SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage-foo (as I discovered when writing
https://github.com/sagemath/sagelib/blob/github-master/README.rst ).
So I think that counts as a "no", if the question is to be interpreted
as being about whether we should keep that "branch"-handling code in
the Sage scripts. Though of course I don't know whether John meant it
that way.
You correctly interpreted my response, and I agree with your
conclusions. I haven't used the sage branch-handling code in years.
