Can we deprecate .git/branches?

We deprecated it from the very beginning, in the sense that we never
wrote into it ourselves, but merely tried to pay attention to what
others wrote there.  So I am open to a bullet point that officially
declares the deprecation.

But we need to come up with a removal schedule.  Say, the first feature
release after June 2008?
