Re: [mylyn-dev] Bug or Feature

["Eric Bodden" <eric.bodden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the explanation. I was anticipating something like that.
I'll try out this option and see if it's more intuitive to me. In
general I agree with what Martin said: A landmark (regardless of
whether it was set manual or by inference) should always remain in the
context, I find. But that's just my subjective opinion...

In general, I would have no problem even with slightly decreasing the
degree of interest of something I close, so that it can maybe decay
and disappear over time, if it does not get reopened. But just
removing it right away seems not very handy.
