+## Consistency considerations
+
+### Namespace branch lost
+
+1. When a pull request is created, git-push-service action writes the service manifests to the namespace branch.
+1. The namespace branch is deleted accidentally.
+1. When the label is added to the pull request, this action creates the namespace branch with all services from the prebuilt branch.
+   It confuses the user because the namespace branch does not contain the change of the pull request.
