This example indicates that basing your decision on what it is like
*today* may not be valid either. You'd hope that they won't do
something really silly, but you can't change it if they do, and you
can't just keep running the old version of issues to avoid problems
since you don't have control over that either.
Anyway, like everyone else has said, Ralf, Pauli, et. al. are really the
ones to vote in this. Given Fernando's responses, I realize why GHI
still works for us---our small project has me and 2-4 students, and we
all pretty much meet each week to triage issues together, and there are
only about 40 open issues. It's a simple enough project that we need
*something*, but we don't need to spend our time setting up complicated
infrastructure. I do wish we could use Google Code issues with Github
pull requests, though :).
Thanks,
Jason
