Hey Folks! Jira uses the notation of "archived" to mean that a version is no longer in active use. The status means that a given version no longer autocompletes and can not be used when editing tickets.
Earlier there was a brief discussion on IRC about the matter (attached as a log), and I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to participate in the discussion. Relevant questions, as I see it 1) Do we wish to leave more 1.4.x versions active on jira to make things easier for contributors filing tickets against the older releases? Or do we wish to leave fewer active to make it easier for contributors who are handling triage of new issues? 2) Do we want to set an approximate time for when all 1.4.x versions will be archived in jira, e.g. end of 2014? Since the user announcement for the end of 1.4 is still in draft form, we could include this information so that users can plan now. Personally, I'd like to 1) leave all the 1.4.x releases active for now and 2) not set a hard cut off and instead play it by ear depending on issues we see filed. -- Sean
