Deprecating Outdated Issues on the GitHub Public Roadmap #1014

#552 is unbelievably painful UX. Gitlab has this. Not being able to thread on top level comments makes it so hard to track conversations and results in all this quotation noise. Please reconsider adding this feature (is it really that hard?? you already have threaded comments on lines..) |

I wonder how this is not aligned to GitHub's roadmap. |

I also cannot understand how this would be no longer relevant. |

On what planet is #552 outdated? |

It's a little tone-deaf to call #281 "outdated" when it's a daily struggle to manually perform the workflow we want automated. Or to call #276 "outdated" when it's a daily struggle to sync labels and to work around milestones by using Linear in our org. I also agree with #552, a Twitter feed is unsuitable for pull request comments. They deserve their own replies. I mean, it's great that you guys finally commit on not making the user experience better, but calling your top pain points "outdated for several years" is bound to not be well-received. |

It is a bit frustrating indeed. However, we are invited to continue the discussions in GitHub discussions if we're still interested in seeing some of those deprecated issues happen. With that in mind, if you are as interested as I am to see custom workflows in Projects, I think those 3 discussions could be upvoted: |

I am too really disappointed #276 was depreciated, I recently set-up a new Project and that was exactly what I missed and had to duplicate a lot of manual work. |

Myself and my organization were extremely interested in seeing #636 be implemented, as it would allow for a much tighter security posture around centralized reusable workflows. At the current moment, one must share secrets with the repository consuming the reusable workflow, which is a blatant security risk, as anyone with write access to the calling repository can then cut their own branch, modify the action file, and use the secrets however they desire. Are there any plans to implement this or similar functionality in the future? |

Same here. |

We use GitHub Enterprise server, and our organization really needs support for GitHub Actions: Artifacts v4 Is there a chance this will be done? The cloud version has supported Artifacts v4 for a long time. |

I cannot believe supporting v4 is marked outdated while v3 will be deprecated by November 30, 2024. |

yeah. I recently ran into the following after running in circles for a while:
Made me want to run into a wall head first and I was really looking forward to getting v4 support for GHES |

I agree with this too - quote-replies instead of threaded replies provide an awful experience. Example: This quote reply. |

Btw, discussions have reply feature. |

Also #824 (More control over required status checks for pull requests using merge queue) has been abandoned. Sad. This is a common use case where certain PR checks should be skipped based on specific filters. In our monorepo, we have three main projects:
We use three PR action checks, each filtered by folder. As a safety measure, it’s crucial to block merging into the main branch if the relevant check hasn’t passed. However, without this feature, we’re forced to leave all checks optional, which compromises safety. |

So your closing issue without discussion, reasoning, or explanation - all in the name of transparency? |

@mbrevda, all but one were already locked. |

It is very disrespectful of GitHub to kill the roadmap items without explaining what is wrong with supporting enterprise-wide environments and make you stupidly define environments in multiple repo. Especially with microservices implementation, someone should be out of mind to choose Github actions |

I can only agree on this. It would have allowed us to easily enforce some rules on any new repository. That’s a shame. |

Thanks for this update, @ankneis. My team at the .gov registry has been really pleased with sub-issues, and I was hoping to see updates on the 3 issues below! Several of our repos feed into a single project, and being able to share cross-repo milestones and labels, track dependencies, and review our project history for errant changes would be so useful to our delivery.
Prioritization decisions are hard! If my team can ever be useful in your discovery and research efforts, we'd love to be. |

Totaly agree with you Please wakeup @github-product-roadmap |

I run up against #347 regularly, would love for Github to add it! One downside of getting rid of these issues is that there's now no easy way to be alerted when a feature I care about has been implemented |

Please add this to your roadmap: Frankly, I don't understand why this hasn't been prioritized. Does GitHub not dogfood their own product? How are the GitHub engineers reviewing each other's code? |

We have hundreds of users that are refusing to use GitHub pull request reviews because of this issue. We'll definitely be raising this with our account team. |

A sad day for reviews 😞. |

Commenting unchanged lines is something I've run into relatively rarely, but when it has happened the workaround of "leave a comment on some random changed line and explain where it actually applies to" has been extremely frustrating whether as reviewer or as reviewee. The lack of threaded replies for top-level PR comments was always a baffling design decision, especially when they exist on other kinds of comment and in discussions. Very disappointed to see #347 and #552 off the roadmap, both would be major usability improvements. |

I am confused why #930 was removed from the roadmap. Dependabot is asking us to upgrade to v4 in GHES while it remains incompatible. Does the removal of the issue mean GHES will never see support for articat-upload/-download@v4 in GHES? |

Deprecating Outdated Issues on the GitHub Public Roadmap
At GitHub, transparency and clarity are at the heart of our relationship with the community. As part of our ongoing efforts to keep you informed about our product roadmap, we’ve already begun hosting quarterly roadmap webinars to share updates and engage with the community in real-time.
This week, we’re taking the next step in achieving our roadmap goals by refreshing the public roadmap project board.
After an in-depth review, we’ve identified a number of open issues that have become outdated over time—some for several years. To better align with our current product direction and to build trust with our users, we are deprecating these outdated issues and updating the board with new and accurate information.
This refresh will make it easier for you to follow our progress, ensure higher-quality updates, and provide a more accurate reflection of GitHub’s development priorities. Moving forward, we are also committing to regular updates, so you can rely on the roadmap as a trusted source of information about GitHub’s ongoing and upcoming features.
