[cle-release-team] Question about Jira workflow

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Neal,
I switched over the core projects and ones controlled by the CLE team
(or me) to use the new workflow. Other projects are welcome to use it
as well but I did not force it on any of them.

I think the new workflow is better personally but I think it is up to
the individual project teams to make that decision. I suggest you
touch base with them and find out which ones are willing to switch
over.
:-)
