Agreed. We'll talk to the larger group of devs for future decisions like this. On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 9:56 AM, Britton Smith wrote:

I largely think this is good idea, but there should have been some opportunity for discussion that included people not at the workshop. I hope the workshop is very productive, but let's try to be cautious of making quick, unilateral course changes.

Hi, for all those people that enforced "From: Cameron -> /dev/null" due to recent spambomb, I'm forwarding the email shedding some light on what happened. I'm partial responsible for it too, since it was I who suggested to use "Milestone" keyword on bb's issue tracker. Sorry for that! Cheers, Kacper

Everyone:

Several of the developers at the yt workshop are reclassifying the bitbucket issues to better "tag" them for future handling. We decided to use the "Milestone" field as a way of triaging these into several categories: easy, moderate, difficult, longterm, and waiting for future development. As part of this, we (I) made the dubious decision to remove the previous numbered milestones because they were redundant with version as we had been using them. This has resulted in a HUGE number of emails to the list for all of the milestone modifications, which you have undoubtedly received. For that I want to personally apologize, since we were unaware this would be the behavior even on closed tickets.

I hope these new milestones will be useful in the future, and again I'm sorry for all of the spam.

Cameron
