+Hello there, it's your overlord speaking.
+
+Recently, I've made some big changes to how our issue tracking works. The reason was simple: the
+issue tracker was a dumpster. Tons of bad, stale, incomplete, etc. issues. It was _unmaintainable_.
+
+I've pondered at the solutions I had, and I've also made a poll amongst you to vote on what you'd
+like to see as the solution. Ultimately, the approach Ghostty took won, and I am also quite in favor of it.
+
+Essentially, you create a discussion instead of an issue, and once that discussion has enough attention,
+information, and is confirmed, it can be promoted to an issue. That means that all the things in the issue
+tracker are instantly actionable, as they are well-understood and confirmed.
+
+I know it might seem weird to close 1.3k issues just like that, but trust me, most of them are bad.
+
+For once, 70% of them were marked as stale. Commenting on a stale issue removes the tag, and yet ***70%*** were
+stale, meaning it was very likely nobody gave a damn.
+
+Secondly, it's a good opportunity to take a reset, and get rid of dupes. There are many issues duped.
+
+Thirdly, we can now tag issues properly, which will make it easier to track and categorize.
+
+I know it puts a bit more work onto the user, but that's the point! You, as a user, spending 5 more minutes is nothing,
+but for us, those 5 minutes per user cascade into hours and hours of boring work that sucks the energy out of
+us that we could've spent on the actual important thing... writing code, you know.
+
+At any rate, I hope this change helps us write better code, and write it faster.
+
+Cheers,
+vax.
