Do you mean files in testing/incr such as patch-2.6.39-rc6-rc7.bz2?
Yes, I am still using these. That being said:
* I guess I could extract these myself from git with a simple git
  diff command?
* I don't give a damn to older incremental patches, only to the ones of
  the current development cycle.

So if you want to delete all the old files, I'm all for it, and if you
decide to no longer generate the incremental patches at all, I can live
with it.
