Mongoid Migration
Raw
reasoning.txt
The problem with the Github issues is a tradeoff. In order for MongoDB to officially
support Mongoid we need to have the issues in Jira in order to properly adhere to our
commercial support contracts with respect to response times, as well as free support.
There's no simple way to setup 301 redirects from the old Github issues to the new Jira issues,
but every single Github issue was migrated - over 4000 since the project's inception in
2009 and all are public (https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/MONGOID). Google will eventually
resolve them. It's better in the short and long term to give up some of this to have Mongoid
officially supported and actively developed.
As for the documentation, the separation of the Mongoid 5 docs and the 3/4 docs was to
make it clear what is officially supported and what is not. It could create confusion if
all were grouped together. I can work on a solution in the meantime to get the old links
redirecting back to mongoid.github.io but it'll take a little bit of time.
