The qt6 transition has been particular because there were long-lived special branches for qt6 while
mainstayed on qt5. Recently, qt6 has becomemainin the following two PRs:This means that the old qt6 branches are now either abandoned (i.e. falling behind main, see here), or show a deletion dialogue that might be tempting for a maintainer or core member who comes along
The recently-introduce capability to "archive" branches (by turning them into git tags; details; sample result from #1883) would be useful here, because it would allow us to reflect the reality that this branch was an essential part of the feedstock for years, while getting it out of the way of ongoing operations. Not that I expect us to need it, but this operation can also be reversed where necessary.
