Should I leave HTTP side site in Webmaster Tools after HTTPS migration?

Since Google announced last year that it uses "HTTPS as a ranking factor", it seems that many HTTP sites are beginning to make HTTPS (moving).
Meanwhile, Google responded to the question from the user whether or not to keep information on the HTTP side after moving to HTTPS in Webmaster Tools.

Comment from Mueller
Google's John Muller, even after moving to HTTPS
"You should leave the HTTP version site on Webmaster Tools"
I talked on my Twitter.

The merit of leaving HTTP

The reason why Mueller ought to keep the HTTP version also is that webmaster tools notify us when something goes wrong with the HTTP version site.
In addition, in the US SEO media reporting on this matter, "If both HTTPS and HTTP are listed in Webmaster Tools, you can check the progress of the relocation with both index status and check the change of the search query I also talk about it.
