Hi, the only concern that comes to my mind is loss of historical
metadata.
"If you delete a label, it is permanently deleted. All references to
the label are removed from the system and you cannot undo the
deletion." [1]
I'm not sure how important such historical metadata is, though, so maybe
it's not a problem.
If it's desired to maintain such historical metadata, one alternative
could be to rename them and add some flag that means they're deprecated,
like described here[2].
>From my side, feel free to decide how to go about it, I just wanted to
bring some food for thought.
