What I meant was, I never look at the TODO list on the wiki. I don't
think it's a good place to put it if we want to maintain the
motivation to get the problem fixed.

It seems a bit backwards to me to move a reminder for an item that we
want to fix to somewhere less visible. Feels a bit like sweeping bugs
under the carpet. That does not make them go away.

Rather than see the item moved off somewhere else, my personal view is
that if people don't like the item being there then the likely best
course of action is for them to have a look at the problem and/or the
patch and voice their opinion on it and try to get the discussion
going again. If the discussion concludes with that the problem is not
big enough to warrant fixing it then we can leave a note and withdraw
the item.

However, to me it feels like a good time to make these sort of changes
in the planner. There's still plenty of time for people to complain if
they don't like what we've done before PG14 ships.
