I am all for shorter names.

Also the main reason I came up with best practices because over last few
days (including today) I saw people explicitly asking for best-practices
(explicitly)  in #troubleshooting - and they really did not have any
troubles to shoot, they just wanted to ask how to approach something - and
when I tried to put myself in their shoes, I would have real trouble (!) to
figure out where I should ask those questions - out of the two #development
and #troubleshooting, development would seem like a better one. Also I
think this is the main reason why we would think that #random is not needed
is because sometimes people ask #best-practices questions there. But there
are a number of other random questions there - when we release providers,
praising (yes happens) that after upgrade Airflow works snappier, And it
seems like a good place to safely post questions if it does not fit any of
the other three.

I think now that we should have those:

#contributing
#troubleshooting
#best-practices
#random

Seems like a good set, with quite intuitive meaning and generally it's easy
to guess where to put what with #random being "catch-all".

Does it sound good?
