Hi,

that sounds like we should use an “Implemented” label to clearly mark

He had assumed that all proposals in the repo were unimplemented (otherwise, in his thinking, they weren't proposals anymore). In any case, we discovered that it's not easy to tell whether a proposal is implemented or not. If it can be assumed that all implemented proposals have tickets, then I suppose we're OK, as long as the proposal is updated with the ticket.
