the only advantage of deleting the commits is to keep the repository
small. in case you like to do that, it is easily done with an
interactive rebase:

$ git rebase -i HEAD~5

will rebase commits from HEAD to 5 ago

there are instructions then, just delete the lines and they are not
there. then git push --force to the repo.

of course involving a git push --force this operation has to be
synchronous to other commits, but we don't have such a big load of
operations on our repo...

I am lacking behind with that: had a somehow happy, somehow tough year
during 2012, well conscious I've neglected work on frei0r. a good
release manager in my place would have done already 2 releases in this
period, considering the contributions we've received.

however, I'll round up one now and see how it goes for the next.
