Where did the "basic functionality" quote come from? I haven't looked at all 42 in detail, but it largely seems like _advanced_ functionality to me.

We've reverted the title now. (Submitted title was "GitHub removes 42 "basic functionality" features from their roadmap")

Submitters: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

This is exactly why HN discourages editorialising titles. This one was clearly modified to spark outrage. People click on it with a predisposition to be mad instead of being given the chance to reflect first.

Yeah I don't see the term "basic functionality" anywhere on the linked page, having that in quotes in the post title here feels misleading to me.

Renaming this post to match the original title would be appropriate: "Deprecating Outdated Issues on the GitHub Public Roadmap"

How on earth is threading comments on PRs advanced in any way?

Maybe overcomplicated is the better term? Constantly adding "basic" features on top of each other might create us a Jira.
