What does a milestone mean?

[Matthew Pickering]

Hi,

It seems that basically every new issues gets triaged with the 8.10.1
milestone, what does this mean?

It seems like a lot of the issue's won't get fixed for 8.10, or at any
foreseeable point in the future which dilutes the milestoning.

Therefore I don't think we should assign a certain milestone to a
ticket unless either

1. The issue is considered necessary to fix for that milestone (ie, a
regression)
2. Someone is planning to work on the ticket for that milestone (ie, a
feature/improvement)

Then the milestone actually has some meaning.

Cheers,

Matt
