Success Criteria
This is a research issue to address the questions and concerns posed in this comment.
The deliverable for this issue will be
-
a recommendation whether we should keep this field, and if so, what statuses are valid to retain. -
if there are statuses we want to retain, a proposal how we could track broken metrics and potentially automate it
