+1. Once again, I beg for "small refactoring permission" in a checklist. As of today, separate tickets for small refactorings has lowest priority, since they neither fix any flaw nor add new functionality. Also, the attempts to make issue-related code safer / cleaner / more readable in "real" pull requests are typically rejected, since they contradict our current guidelines.
I understand this will require a bit more effort from committer/maintainer, but otherwise we will get constantly degrading code quality. 2018-04-24 18:52 GMT+03:00 Eduard Shangareev <eduard.shangar...@gmail.com>: > Vladimir, > > I am not talking about massive/sophisticated refactoring.
