That should be possible right now. Of course, lack of some features around project groups as mentioned in other mail are kind of an issue for his to team whose work spreads across plenty launchpad project, but then I don't see this as something that cannot be worked around. And yes, I am fine to keep the infrastructure backlog in launchpad _unordered_ for now. Looking ahead, I can see how stakeholders might want to reach consent on whether something in the backlog should "come right after next", "come soon", "come at some point" or "probably come never" at some point and the blueprint importance field feels suitable for that to me The case that triggered this discussion might be a good example why one might want to indicate priority of something in the backlog. But anyway, step by step! -- - Alexander
