Hi!

As you all probably know, we've switched to reno for managing release 
notes. What it also means is that the release team has stopped managing 
milestones for us. We have to manually open/close milestones in 
launchpad, if we feel like. I'm a bit tired of doing it for inspector, 
so I'd prefer we stop it. If we need to track release-critical patches, 
we usually do it in etherpad anyway. We also have importance fields for 
bugs, which can be applied to both important bugs and important features.

During a quick discussion on IRC Sam mentioned that neutron also dropped 
using blueprints for tracking features. They only use bugs with RFE tag 
and specs. It makes a lot of sense to me to do the same, if we stop 
tracking milestones.

For both ironic and ironic-inspector I'd like to get your opinion on the 
following suggestions:
1. Stop tracking milestones in launchpad
2. Drop existing milestones to avoid confusion
3. Stop using blueprints and move all active blueprints to bugs with RFE 
tags; request a bug URL instead of a blueprint URL in specs.

So in the end we'll end up with bugs for tracking user requests, specs 
for complex features and reno for tracking for went into a particular 
release.

Important note: if you vote for keeping things for ironic-inspector, I 
may ask you to volunteer in helping with them ;)

Dmitry.
