In the past cycle, I've been using the feature to attach bugs as
work items to a blueprint, and I had been planning to do so again
for at least some blueprints this cycle.  However, this means that
work items are added and disappear as bugs are discovered and
possibly resolved as invalid.  This seems to conflict with the
goal that this cycle, work item numbers should stay stable ...

Any thoughts on how we should handle this?


Also, some of the feedback from UDS sessions included features that
could arguably be considered part of our blueprints, but go beyond
what was originally their scope.  For example, one user asked for
GDB tracepoints to be also supported with native debugging, and
one asked for enhancements to cross-debugging the kernel via KGDB.

At this point it is not clear whether there is anything we can do
about those requirements during this cycle, but I think we should
keep track of them to make sure they're not forgotten.  I could
think of a number of ways to do so:

- Add work items to the current blueprints (and postpone them if
  we cannot in the end implement them)

- Do more investigation work first, and then add work items later
  if appropriate

- Don't add them at all to the existing blueprints, but queue up
  new blueprints (possibly for the next cycle)

Thoughts?
