Disabling GitHub Discussions tab for dotnet/aspnetcore #452
Description
Rationale
Since we enabled GitHub Discussions, we've found them quite hard to manage for a repository the size of aspnetcore. Without labelling and assigning capabilities, there are no effective ways to triage or track what discussions have been looked at, or who has the next step.
To that end, we're going to disable them, and encourage people to just use issues instead - that way we can continue to ensure they get reviewed by the team, and acted upon if they are in fact bugs, etc.
When will this happen
I'll make the switch in a week, on 2021-02-11.
What happens to existing discussions
They will no longer be visible, but as far as we can tell, GitHub still keeps them, and if we ever enable discussions again, they will come back.
Where do I discuss this
Please comment on the discussion issue for this announcement on dotnet/aspnetcore.
