One thing I thought would matter is of course that a backlog is always on a series of a component, which might raise interesting questions what to do for multi-series components (e.g. multiple-backlogs or if you want just one where do you put it?). So here if we want generally one backlog this would be a +1 for series; if we want one backlog per series that would be a +1 for milestone. Another difference is that a series has the concept that restricted users can propose something for it. So you can propose a bug; or propose a blueprint to a series. AFAIK, for milestones you either have the power or you don't (e.g. you either can set a milestone for a bug or you don't). IMO that makes a +0.5 for series ;). However, I am not sure if launchpad has a nice overview page for series that lets you review all bugs and blueprints that are in the backlog. if there is no such page then that might be a +0.5 for milestones again ;). So to sum up: no strong opinion. If i had to place a vote I would go for series. Also seems that one of our team leads already uses series to implement the backlog, so maybe we should ask now: what do milestones give us that series don't instead of the other way around. -- - Alexander
