I think I wasn't clear:

There is a large number of yellow items in our feature plan. If you put something in 
there, you have to make sure it doesn't just stay in there forever. That means 
either removing it (if you don't plan to work on it at all) or marking it green 
(when it's ready, doesn't have to be bug-free at that point). Yellow items will be 
moved over to the next feature plan (the one for 4.5), so we'll just end up 
wondering what happened in a couple of months.

Please take those 5 minutes it'll cost at max, and update the status of your items 
in there.

By now, please also reply to this email with your change, so it still makes it in. I 
can't monitor the page for every single edit and keep the higher level docs about it 
up to date.

We probably spent hundreds of hours on the codebase, yet do not even find those 5 
minutes to write down what we did so it can be communicated properly.

I might just expect too much discipline, our system might suck, or the stars aren't 
aligned perfectly, but all that doesn't help me when I want to flesh out the feature 
set we're building the release notes upon.

Thanks,
