Even though I liked custom models to some extent, mainly for Vice City and Liberty City, I think this is a great decision. The feature brought with it more problems or extra things to think about, than what seemed at first. This would have probably led to more time spent on that feature, than would have been spent on other smaller and easier to implement features.
Although I do think that branching of the models feature into a separate client/server/browser list is not that great, since it makes it a bit more difficult for end users. I can already imagine the threads being made with 'I can't join server x' and a reply with 'what version are u using? 0.3.7? oh no you need the 0.3.7-DL one'. However since you said that it is a temporary thing, that's just a small thing to deal with.
People that are saying that the 0.3.7-DL branch will not get any more future updates that are added to the main 0.3.7 branch, clearly don't know anything about git or development.
I'd rather see a stable smaller new SA-MP version with a few bugfixes and a few extra features, than a buggy version with 1 big new feature. I'm sure not everyone agrees with me on this one, but I really think this is the better decision for the community as a whole.
