Yup, if downstream packagers want to manually review such cases, no object= ion from me.  My concern is upstream getting bug reports that say "ple= ase reinstate this branch and never delete it again or you'll break our bui= lds".  See https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/iss= ues/2360 and https://github.com/coreos/go-systemd/i= ssues/371 for examples.
