People didn't always remember to add the labels and they were redundant with people specifying the branch in the title along with the PR that the cherry-pick originated from (e.g. "[3.6] Something changed (GH-12345)").

I should mention that you can still differentiate between a PR that is specifically targeted at a older branch and a cherry-pick PR. E.g. "[2.7] Did something" is a PR specifically for Python 2.7 while "[2.7] Did something (GH-12345)" is a backport based on the fact that "(GH-12345)" is at the end of the title.
