[IPython-dev] roadmap and wishlist milestones

[Brian Granger]

I have stopped using the status-active and status-dormant tags for the
notebook related issues because they were redundant with the
information in the priority tags.  I like the idea os getting rid of
these and using milestones+priority instead.

I tend to like to minimize these types of issues to begin with.  I
like to have issues that have some chance of being acted on in a
finite amount of time.  But I realize that some people like to track
everything and I can just ignore the wishlist.

This is fine, but...

I am also fine with this less formal approach.

In my mind, it is OK to be lax on distant milestones - it is mainly
the upcoming one that is worth being accurate on.

But all of these feelings are rather weak, so I am fine with any
decision along these lines.

Cheers,
