I'm trying to figure out what benefits the Epic tag actually provides, and so far I haven't thought of any.
Several teams are putting [EPIC] or EPIC: or [<four-letter-bird] in the title of epics, all of which do a better job of identifying epics than the Epic tag. The tag is only visible when you view the detail, whereas a freeform text identifier in the title is visible in workboards, lists, and even email notifications. I can't think of a case where it would be helpful to see all the epics in phab. I can't even think of a case where it would be helpful to filter all the epics within a project. And if you did, you could just filter on the word "epic" in the title, if teams chose that approach. So my bold question: Should we just eliminate (or at least deprecate) the Epic tag?
