Those branches would remain open. When the call is finished, it will 
depend on how the delete is executed: if the delete is done from the 
side which branched the call (side A, caller), then the entire call 
including other branches are deleted. If the delete is done from the 
opposite side (B, one of the branches), the other branches would still 
remain open, keeping the entire call alive. The call would then 
eventually time out depending on the config, but it might take a while.

Correct, with possibly some undesired side effects depending on which 
flags were used (e.g codec changes).
