In CHIP parlance, a milestone is simply an expected due date or release.
In CHIP parlance, a milestone is simply a tag for an expected due date or release. Milestones are intended to help contributors and their managers to prioritize work. There are 2 types: Date-based and Release-based.

Date-based milestones start with an "M" and have the form M3, M3.2, M4, etc.
corresponding to the number of months since January 1, 2020, and generally mean
the last Friday of that month. E.g. M1 corresponds to EOB January 24,
#### Date-based
Date-based milestones are named for their due date, typically a Friday of some week. Date-based milestones are normally assigned based on a guess about when something's likely to bubble up and get done based on current work load and resourcing. They are wishes, guesses.

2020. The Morrow milestone is a special milestone that means "unprioritized" or
"unscheduled" or "unscoped".
#### Release-based
Release-based milestones are named for the release version and may have flexible or subject-to-change due dates. Release-based milestones are intended to track release blockers.

The form of the names of release-based milestone names are TBD, and may have
flexible or changing dates.
A special "Not sure when" milestone is a marker for issues whose priority, scope, or blocking status have not been determined. Monthly review of these is a project goal.

Issues without milestones are those that have yet to be considered for one of the above. Weekly review of new issues is a project goal.
