Re: [Tails-dev] Spring cleaning our GitLab labels

For the labels I proposed to delete, IMO historical metadata will
probably never be useful again. But if affected people have doubts
about this for some of these labels, then I would lean towards being
conservative and deprecate them instead of deleting them.

This does not achieve one of my goals here: e.g. when I type "install"
in the label selection entry field, the filtered list GitLab gives me
would still have 3 labels, 2 of them being marked as deprecated, while
with my proposal, I would see only 1, which is the one I want.
Same for "security".

But I can live with that too if folks prefer :)

Thanks for making this explicit: I had it in mind when I wrote my
original proposal but forgot to make it clear.

Cheers!
