The more invasive bulk changes will happen on Monday while others have already happened. Please note that this may temporarily reduce the responsiveness of the system.

The only difference is that the project will not carry the OG Approvers group. Practically this means that you can expect the project permissions to behave such as if you don't have approver rights (if you have them). The project is again actively managed by jira admins now. Please use it if required.

The assumption is that we may still want to refer to the read-only projects later on whereas the invisible ones are truly dead. This affects the following projects:

This includes the removal of workflow/issue differences between for example the QtCreator and Qt project (the Qt project being the desired target) , remove and consolidate issue types and cleanup of old Nokia groups and roles.
