Mercurial branches 3.1 and 2.6 are not "inactive". They are not "merged":

I guess they should be "merged" (or "null merged") to 2.7 and to 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and default. I can do it myself, if you think it is appropiate.

Since both 2.6 and 3.1 are now retired, their branches should be marked as closed at this point, like earlier retired releases. Barry?
Benjamin?

2.6 for sure. I don't know what actually has to happen to mark them closed, but there will not be another 2.6 release.

Looks like touching 2.6 is forbidden:

""" jcea@ubuntu:cpython$ hg up -r 2.6 jcea@ubuntu:cpython$ hg commit --close-branch -m "2.6 is no longer maintained" jcea@ubuntu:cpython$ hg push pushing to ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython/ searching for changes remote: adding changesets remote: adding manifests remote: adding file changes remote: added 1 changesets with 0 changes to 0 files (-1 heads) remote: - changeset 25b79170c319 on disallowed branch '2.6'! remote: * Please strip the offending changeset(s) remote: * and re-do them, if needed, on another branch! remote: transaction abort! remote: rollback completed remote: abort: pretxnchangegroup.checkbranch hook failed """

If configuring mercurial HOOKS to disallow branches is documented somewhere in the release manager guide, it should do the step of closing the branch first :-).
