I think that herds really only make sense if there is some kind of |
| 9 |
coordinated team effort behind them. Otherwise they're little more |
| 10 |
than another form of category and a black hole for bugs to go into. |

Certainly a few herds are active in this way, but it seems like the |
| 13 |
majority are not. Where they are not we should get rid of them, |
| 14 |
unless a team steps up to actively maintain them (defining a project, |
| 15 |
electing leads, etc). |
