Yes. This is what people are used to and do now with our patches based system. We cannot take away such basic functionality. Also, currently it is very easy to do, however, it is quite error prone. That's also why using [top]git would be so great.
There are ~300 topic branches. Usually, a combination of most of these is used as the master branch. There are a number of scenarios where you would want to add/remove some of these topic branches from master.
The most pressing case for this is for packagers making a release. Unless we also make their life easier, we can forget about moving to [top]git.
