[Pulp-dev] [pulp-dev] story backlog reduction

[Brian Bouterse]

Moving to pulp-dev list with permission from asmacdo...

+1 to keeping the story backlog tidy

We can do some of this now and later, or defer doing it until after 3.0. 
Either way is ok with me. Some responses inline also.

We can close 26. It doesn't convey a comprehensible idea.

We should keep 25 open I think. It's still useful with our current design.

I think closing all nodes RFEs and bugs as wontfix would be a safe and 
productive thing to do. I recommend a list be made and sent to pulp-dev 
of all the issues before a mass-close would occur. For nectar, I 
recommend doing nothing at this time since we don't have commitment yet 
that it will be removed in 3.0.

I related this to #2090 which is the user/auth planning task for 3.0
