Topic: New label "tech debt"
Michael Rothgang (Apr 12 2024 at 19:23):
I just went ahead and created a new label "tech debt". I would like to use this to label issues tracking cross-cutting technical debt across mathlib, such as (incomplete and subjective list)
- unimplemented mathlib3 linters
- porting notes
- adaptation notes, if there are issues filed about them
- old mathlib3 names
- nolints that shouldn't stay
- style exceptions
- splitting large files
- removing autoImplicit (to the extent this is wanted)
(Not all of this currently has an issue, and perhaps shouldn't. But labelling the ones there are seems helpful enough.)
I find it useful to get some overview this way. It might also attract people who like fixing such things (such as me :-)).
If you think this is not a good idea, I'd be particularly interested in your opinion :smile:

I think this is a very good idea. Thanks a lot for starting on this!
