Hi, I think it is good feature to be able set expected delivery of a feature with accuracy of one month. This does not change much for people who want to talk in iterations or quarters anyway.
No-one is proposing to use month-sized cards for roadmapping purposes or for reviews @TSC/OPSCOM if I read this correctly, that size would fit subtasks, good again. Today someone went to play - messed up a structure and introduced bogus dependencies to my card. It is too easy to do. I did not get email notifications. Perhaps toothing problems ...

Only for LEG: LEG subtasks (that is subtasks in cards for the LEG Jira > component) are automatically linked to their parent cards.
