A few weeks ago GH sunsetted the classic github projects: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-05-23-sunset-notice-projects-classic/
This caused me to permanently lose some list of ideas and ToDos I had, because they handled the migration really poorly:
- They never sent any warnings via emails regarding the sunsetting, even though I've had ~10 Classic Projects for a few years
- The "automated migration" they ran migrated only cards last updated within last year. Some cards with ideas/ToDos/backlog weren't really updated within that period so they weren't migrated.
- The changelog mentions that the REST API is still available, but the projects that were partially migrated don't appear anymore. This means that the non-migrated cards cannot really be recovered.
I only hope that some GH employee reads this and can provide a backup of what I had before the migration.
Why would they even impose that arbitrary 1 year limit?
Designing a migration procedure that loses data on purpose seems evil.
