I agree more with this. This also allows you to immediately see the list of 
linked MR’s and issues right in the conversation, as well as being able to link 
code snippets. One gripe however is that the issue becomes monolithic with 
multiple conversation threads (as you can see the CI error issue is a totally 
unstructured Smörgåsbord). To keep a more structured overview we should have 
multiple issues that are linked together.
