Fixed!

Not sure I understand your question. If the question is: “should GCI issue not 
just be about ‘trivial’ level but also other difficulty levels?”, then I think 
we could extend GCI tasks to ‘Easy’ level, i.e. consider both “trivial” and 
“easy”.

So we would have:

* Trivial + Onboarding —> GCI
* Easy + Onboarding —> GCI
* Trivial —> Paper Cut

I’m not sure if we should go beyond “Easy” though.

WDYT?

Thanks
