We discussed earlier to potentially block the creation, and removal,

necessary - but I wanted to raise the option anyway in case people
forgot about it.
The downside would be that in order to create or drop a branch *when
intended* a committer would need someone from the infrastructure team
to temporarily switch off the branch-blocking setting, and then back
on..
I think it would be sensible to block branch removal, as there's
basically never a scenario where we'd do that during current usage.
I'm not excited about blocking branch addition, although I worry
sooner or later somebody will accidentally push a private development
branch :-(. Is it possible to block only removal and not addition?
+1. Spurious branch addition shouldn't cause us much pain - we'd just
remove the new branch. Unwanted deletion is more disruptive.
