-## Issue and PR labels
-
-To keep track of the state of issues and PRs, we've adopted a set of simple labels. The following are currently in use:
-
-
- - Backlog
- - Issues marked with this label are considered not yet ready for implementation. Either they are untriaged or require futher detail to proceed.
-
- - Blocked
- - If an issue requires further clarification or is blocked on an unresolved dependency, this label should be used.
-
- - Sprint
- - Issues marked with this label are being worked in the current sprint. All required information should be available and design details have been worked out.
-
- - In Progress
- - The issue or PR is being actively worked on by the assignee.
-
- - Done
- - Issues marked with this label are complete. This can be considered a psuedo-label, in that if it is closed, it is considered "Done".
-
-
-If an issue or PR is not labeled correctly or you believe it is not in the right state, please contact a maintainer to fix the problem.
-
-## Milestones
-
-Issues and PRs should be assigned to relevant milestones. If an issue or PR is assigned a milestone, it should be available by that date. Depending on level of effort, items may be shuffled in or out of milestones. Issues or PRs that don't have a milestone are considered unscheduled. Typically, "In Progress" issues should have a milestone.
