- Can I merge and delete branches in GIT without affecting the whole system stability (for example `conversion` library currently contains branches like `filesystem_V3`)

If you're a library maintainer, yes. The only branches that you must maintain for system stability are "develop" and "master." However, be aware that some branches in the Boost super-project repository may be referencing commits on your branches.

Do we need all those branches in the super-project? If we drop everything but "develop", "master", and the release tags from the super-project, then library maintainers could clean up their repositories without being afraid of breaking something else. Cheers, Daniel
