What do folks think about moving from ZenHub to GitHub Projects?
Advantages:
Integrated (doesn’t need a 3rd party site/plugin)
Can create multiple project boards for different things
Disadvantages:
GitHub issues aren’t automatically added to the board (maybe GitHub Actions exist for this?)
No concept of epics
One time switch cost
v1.6 priorities
Implementing e2e testing
Continue migrating to kubebuilder/controller-runtime
Enable the use of custom credential providers
