   should be, although I haven't analyzed the git repo blob, just asserting 
based on experience.

   I see your post in the mailing list, well, deleting old release branches 
(<2.6) might be aggressive.
   
   The contribution of release branches to the total volume of the git repo 
should be negligible, I would suggest reserving them but deleting branches like 
`HADOOP-XXXX`, `YARN-XXXX`.
   
   Additionally, seems that Hadoop creates branches for each release, it does 
not clean as Spark - only cutting branches for minor versions, and creating 
release tags on those branches.
   
   ```
   - branch-3.5 ------- v3.5.0-rc0 ------- v3.5.0-rc1(v3.5.0) ------- 
v3.5.1-rc0 --- ...
                        ^                  ^          ^               ^
                        tag                tag        tag             tag
   ```
