#552 is unbelievably painful UX. Gitlab has this. Not being able to thread on top level comments makes it so hard to track conversations and results in all this quotation noise. Please reconsider adding this feature (is it really that hard?? you already have threaded comments on lines..) |

I wonder how this is not aligned to GitHub's roadmap. |

I also cannot understand how this would be no longer relevant. |

On what planet is #552 outdated? |

It's a little tone-deaf to call #281 "outdated" when it's a daily struggle to manually perform the workflow we want automated. Or to call #276 "outdated" when it's a daily struggle to sync labels and to work around milestones by using Linear in our org. I also agree with #552, a Twitter feed is unsuitable for pull request comments. They deserve their own replies. I mean, it's great that you guys finally commit on not making the user experience better, but calling your top pain points "outdated for several years" is bound to not be well-received. |

It is a bit frustrating indeed. However, we are invited to continue the discussions in GitHub discussions if we're still interested in seeing some of those deprecated issues happen. With that in mind, if you are as interested as I am to see custom workflows in Projects, I think those 3 discussions could be upvoted: |

I am too really disappointed #276 was depreciated, I recently set-up a new Project and that was exactly what I missed and had to duplicate a lot of manual work. |

"Outdated for several years" Ya'll left it sit for several years, lmfao. I don't understand this mentality of "we haven't acknowledged or addressed this issue for several years, therefore we're going to mark it as stale and close it" that most people have. |

Myself and my organization were extremely interested in seeing #636 be implemented, as it would allow for a much tighter security posture around centralized reusable workflows. At the current moment, one must share secrets with the repository consuming the reusable workflow, which is a blatant security risk, as anyone with write access to the calling repository can then cut their own branch, modify the action file, and use the secrets however they desire. Are there any plans to implement this or similar functionality in the future? |

Same here. |

Same for our Team. It would save us a lot of time and make our centralized CICD framework more secure. |

This would be an incredible security boost, as it will allow to tie secrets specifically to reusable workflows (as it now is using secrets from the calling repository). This means that if you want to reuse workflows on many repositories, you also need to make sure that secrets are available on all these repositories - and there is no way you can control how these secrets are being used. It will basically allow full freedom to use any secret in any way, whereas assigning it to a centrally controller repository, you can actually control how the secrets are being used. As an alternative, we are considering using OIDC with I would really like to see this feature in some form or another! |

We use GitHub Enterprise server, and our organization really needs support for GitHub Actions: Artifacts v4 Is there a chance this will be done? The cloud version has supported Artifacts v4 for a long time. |

I cannot believe supporting v4 is marked outdated while v3 will be deprecated by November 30, 2024. |

yeah. I recently ran into the following after running in circles for a while:
Made me want to run into a wall head first and I was really looking forward to getting v4 support for GHES |

GHES is cursed by not having Artifacts v4 yet and it (v3) is causing lot of noise in our developer community |

v3 is one or two orders of magnitude slower at upload and download than necessary. I know because we have replaced it with Azure artifacts and Artifactory where possible (for intermediate artifacts). Still the majority of our build time is waiting until the final artifacts get uploaded… |

I agree with this too - quote-replies instead of threaded replies provide an awful experience. Example: This quote reply. |

Also #824 (More control over required status checks for pull requests using merge queue) has been abandoned. Sad. This is a common use case where certain PR checks should be skipped based on specific filters. In our monorepo, we have three main projects:
We use three PR action checks, each filtered by folder. As a safety measure, it’s crucial to block merging into the main branch if the relevant check hasn’t passed. However, without this feature, we’re forced to leave all checks optional, which compromises safety. |

GitHub's merge queue is quite basic and it's meant to stay like that. They haven't invested much in it since its release last year. Did you have a look into advanced merge queues, like Mergify? Some of them have dedicated features for monorepos. |

@hyperTwitch, which? |

Every single ticket I can see in this list is locked and has zero discussion, at least that the public is able to see. Just a post saying that the ticket is now "outdated" and is being closed. As you can see from the discussion here, there are more than a couple tickets on this list which the community does not understand how the feature request is "outdated". |

It is very disrespectful of GitHub to kill the roadmap items without explaining what is wrong with supporting enterprise-wide environments and make you stupidly define environments in multiple repo. Especially with microservices implementation, someone should be out of mind to choose Github actions |

I can only agree on this. It would have allowed us to easily enforce some rules on any new repository. That’s a shame. |

Thanks for this update, @ankneis. My team at the .gov registry has been really pleased with sub-issues, and I was hoping to see updates on the 3 issues below! Several of our repos feed into a single project, and being able to share cross-repo milestones and labels, track dependencies, and review our project history for errant changes would be so useful to our delivery.
Prioritization decisions are hard! If my team can ever be useful in your discovery and research efforts, we'd love to be. |

I run up against #347 regularly, would love for Github to add it! One downside of getting rid of these issues is that there's now no easy way to be alerted when a feature I care about has been implemented |

Please add this to your roadmap: Frankly, I don't understand why this hasn't been prioritized. Does GitHub not dogfood their own product? How are the GitHub engineers reviewing each other's code? |

We have hundreds of users that are refusing to use GitHub pull request reviews because of this issue. We'll definitely be raising this with our account team. |

Commenting unchanged lines is something I've run into relatively rarely, but when it has happened the workaround of "leave a comment on some random changed line and explain where it actually applies to" has been extremely frustrating whether as reviewer or as reviewee. The lack of threaded replies for top-level PR comments was always a baffling design decision, especially when they exist on other kinds of comment and in discussions. Very disappointed to see #347 and #552 off the roadmap, both would be major usability improvements. |

I am confused why #930 was removed from the roadmap. Dependabot is asking us to upgrade to v4 in GHES while it remains incompatible. Does the removal of the issue mean GHES will never see support for articat-upload/-download@v4 in GHES? |

Thank God that you kept the Copilot features on the agenda, and stripped some of this outdated security and user experience stuff. I'm sure this will help me to rely more on your AI offerings, instead of getting work done myself. Glad you realigned with your current product vision. Having this transparently communicated really helps to see that vision unfold. |

Packages: maven - granular permissions and easy organization sharing #578 Is a necessity if one want so use maven packages on a organization level. |

Deprecating Outdated Issues on the GitHub Public Roadmap
At GitHub, transparency and clarity are at the heart of our relationship with the community. As part of our ongoing efforts to keep you informed about our product roadmap, we’ve already begun hosting quarterly roadmap webinars to share updates and engage with the community in real-time.
This week, we’re taking the next step in achieving our roadmap goals by refreshing the public roadmap project board.
After an in-depth review, we’ve identified a number of open issues that have become outdated over time—some for several years. To better align with our current product direction and to build trust with our users, we are deprecating these outdated issues and updating the board with new and accurate information.
This refresh will make it easier for you to follow our progress, ensure higher-quality updates, and provide a more accurate reflection of GitHub’s development priorities. Moving forward, we are also committing to regular updates, so you can rely on the roadmap as a trusted source of information about GitHub’s ongoing and upcoming features.
