FWIW:

I'm not sure I agree. If my bzr server is down for half an hour for
upgrades, I don't want it to look like all of my branches up and
vanished. Plus, I occasionally look at my branch listing page to make
sure none are broken.

Hiding branches that have always been broken is a different matter, and
I'm neutral on it.

A page for broken branches sounds useful, though. Especially if it
provides a button to remirror them all without having to click on every
single branch! (I think I filed a bug about adding such a button?) I
hope it'll handle having dozens of broken branches as well as the normal
listing page does.

Wait, do you want to remove branches that've just had one failed mirror,
or branches that have been failing long enough that the puller has given
up on them? The latter would be less problematic, but I think it's still
happened to me a couple times when something goes wrong in bzr+http.
