_Actively_ the branch was intended as a contribution and you'll find that Rune made his last commits (documentation) hours before his demise. _Passively_ the discussion about cleaning up branches is not the first such one and then it was decided to keep it, as a tribute if nothing else. With regard to its value as a contribution, of course these days the code base has very much diverged and I don't think anybody ever checked the design or intent of his last changes to figure out what goal he was working on regarding LilyPond's accidental processing. -- David Kastrup
