The ticket said to "have a look", so I did so then closed it (i.e. simple but effective, in my opinion!) If there is any critical work to be done, I'd like tickets at that time, else I'd like a standard engineering planning/migration process to evolve the system. That means central tables of product and time-lines in a change schedule maintained by OMB/PMB/whatever. I'm trying to get best practise going, which means that we try to use the right tools for the job. Tickets are OK, but change planning is far better. I hope that explains my motivation of this issue.
