I *may* have led Joel astray re: ordering on CEP-50 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20768.
I always thought we created JIRAs proactively to go along w/a CEP and just closed out the JIRA if we couldn't get to an agreement on things. Mostly just because of my anal retentive reflex to expect there to be a linked JIRA in the CEP wiki article (which of course adds no value until the CEP discussion and vote have passed...). Though in cases where there's prototype code or artifacts to go along w/a CEP, I think having a JIRA for that makes sense. Anyway - anyone have any opinions here? I don't think it's important enough to codify anything, just wondering if I should recalibrate my own assumptions around that structure so I don't potentially lead future people astray.
