I had a problem accessing my existing drafts after a recent upgrade to gerrit.

In the course of resolving that problem, I received this nugget of info:

Let me follow up a little bit on that. I thought it meant the gerrit project itself was doing away with drafts, but maybe it’s a decision about that site that we could push back on.
