We probably should promote all of the ‘major’ tags to release + get DOIs for all of the old releases.
I can take care of this, but if someone wants to beat me to it, please do

Same here. I like the old tags for historical research purposes. Now, if there was a way for github to only display the N most recent tags, I would go for that…

I am -1 on removing old tags. The point of tags is they don’t move.
IPython is a younger project, moving much faster, and have an interest in keeping everyone close to the bleeding edge, we don’t have that luxury. For a long time debian shipped an rc (1.3.1rc1 iirc) so there is evidence of people in the wild caring about arbitrary tags.

I removed the rgb2lab_local branch now (I decided that this is not the way to go and I have a local copy in my own remote of this). On a related note should be consider removing tags for old release candidates? I know that IPython does this and it does clean up the tags quite a bit since approximately half the tags are for release candidates.

This is done now. All of the branches were fully merged except for v1.1.x which had a single line change to contents.rst which ended up on the main branch through other means.
I have local branches pointing to all of the removed branches so if there is panic about their removal and everyone runs a prune command on the upstream repos we still have this information around.
I left rgb2lab_local because there is still an open PR against it, but will go away when we close that PR.

Does anyone protest to removing all of the branches from the main repo
except:
- master
- v1.4.x
- v1.4.2-doc
Having old branches around can lead to confusion (see

Seems to me like a good idea.
