Comment 12 for bug 34540

What I'd like to see is a last_modified_date added to the branch table.

Once a branch has been set to delete_pending lifecycle status it is removed after a defined period (30 days?).

This allows time for the status to be reverted, or a subscriber to branch from the branch to be deleted prior to it being removed.

If this is what we want, then we'd have to continue to make the branch available to read from, but not push to. If they want to push to it then they have to change the lifecycle status to something other than delete_pending.
