This depends on the achievements which are desired or wanted in my eyes.

The branch 5.1 was created to work on the planned releases 5.1.x, right?
Dropping this branch would mean all further work would done only in the
master branch. I'm not sure this is really wanted as it's need to be
ensured that all releases are backwards compatible to the current 5.0.0
release without breaking potential work done from people targeted post
5.x. KiCad will need some kine of release managing in the near future I
guess.

It seem to me that there are at least some potential confusion exists
about the intention of feature branches, nothing more are the existing
branches 5.1 and master.

But as long there is no agreement what should happen to which release it
will be messy all the time. Is this somewhere documented what will
happen to 5.1 especially?
