If you look at the "history" tab on the JIRA you can see who set what
values when. I checked 4-5 of the JIRAS and the person who set those
has a long record of being very conscientious about changes so I'm
certain it's just an awareness issue, at least for that person. I'll
ping....

Which suggests a way to raise awareness going forward: check the
history and send a message.

If that doesn't cure it we can consider harsher measures, although I
don't think forbidding arbitrary labels is "harsh", it's just too bad
we can't.
