Huh, I'd forgotten about it.

I had the starting assumption that all the official tags had some important use in the past, and that the high frequency ones in particular needed to be preserved even if there wasn't a known rationale for it. > ... >> I'd like to delete the following tags as seeming not carrying enough >> use to be *official tags* in the project - they would stay on the >> relevant bugs, but not be always shown in the portlet, nor be offered >> in typeahead in the bug tags widget. >> > > A lot of these are cleanups which are obviously good ideas.

For your specific examples: canonical-losa-lp is important because we use it to mark things we want to do for operational efficiency/robustness, and we need to know how many things are affecting that. oem-services isn't because while we care about things affecting stakeholders (which is why I proposed a new stakeholder official tag), the specific stakeholder isn't something we need to report on & trivially show. patch-tracking I folded into code review, because patch tracking was intended as a form of code review. codehosting is a broad area (as is code review). Are you happy with me actioning what I listed (modified by Julian and Curtis' suggestions)? -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
