"Squid 7" section of this RoadMap page has pretty much nothing to do with the "road map" concept. It poorly duplicates information already available elsewhere (change log, release notes, Bugzilla, etc.). It will be virtually always stale/inaccurate at least until we stop updating the corresponding Squid code (at which point the section will become pretty much irrelevant).
I recommend deleting this entire page.
If others insist on keeping Squid v6 info (that naturally suffers from very similar problems!), then we can mark this page as obsolete instead (so that we do not have to maintain it and have a better chance of removing it later when it becomes even more obvious that v6 info does not belong to RoadMap (and is available in a better shape elsewhere)).
Links or simplified forms producing bug lists like "bugs affecting version X" and "bugs introduced in version Y" may be useful. Ideally they should be added n our Bugzilla site itself, where folks (should) expect to find information about bugs.

FTR; Under MoinMoin this section was auto-included from the page tracking release features prior to release-notes final edit. The conversion to github somehow made it duplicate text. This is one of the pages which are used as reference by vendors and others. So dropping is not reasonable despite how much overhaul of the policies mentioned within need to be done by the Board. For this PR I would like to see the wiki auto-includes restored, the release-specific page is due for maintainer updates in Feb. That should be "good enough" for this PR scope. |
I do not understand why removing duplicated and misplaced information (that is easily found elsewhere) is "not reasonable" even if it is "used as reference". Surely, "vendors and others" can adjust (and will benefit from this improvement in the long run). Needless to say, we can leave a short temporary note directing readers to the right sources of information. This PR can do that if we have good reasons to suspect that such a temporary note is needed (i.e. that "vendors and others" will not be able to quickly find the necessary information without such a note).
The suggested changes sound like a waste of precious human resources to me, but I will not block a PR that correctly duplicates information if others insist on that duplication. |
