+1, that is how they're intended to be used. You can link a bug to a blueprint, which is quite useful. So I always see blueprints as a goal, and any linked bugs as the objectives. BTW, comments is a long standing feature request for blueprints: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/49698 Note that it was filed *5* years ago. As Jono Lange would say, "patches accepted!" _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : drizzle-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
