So there is some convergence about the meaning of those. Though we also use P3 for "we care about this and will fix it, provided there's no major priority bug to fix first". This helps planning future work, by retriaging P3s into P2s when the list of P2s shrinks or new goals are made. The P5 pool would be too large to pick things out of it. Merging P4 into P5 wouldn't make much of a difference. Both are things we recognize are valid bugs, but it's very unlikely we'll ever have time to fix them. Imo, merging everything below P2 into a single backlog is a mistake, there's quite a huge difference between "we want to fix this once there's time but it's not critical now" to "we are unlikely to ever have time to fix this". I personally feel the need for a "P3" category. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
