DD YOU Sue Baskerville: Merging unrelated Jira issues is a bad idea.

Merging unrelated Jira issues is a bad idea.

Merging unrelated Jira issues is a bad idea.

Folks have taken to merging Jira issues made by separate people, that concern completely unrelated matters, into one proposal.

This unwise practice eliminates the ability for people to express their support or lack of support for separate, distinct, unrelated ideas by voting for some of the ideas and not voting for the other ideas which have been included in the merged issue.

Any unrelated issues that have been merged together in this fashion should be reopened separately, to gain votes or not, on their own individual merits, as their individual authors intended.

A permanent end should be made to the intellectually defective practice of merging unrelated ideas into one.
