alt Hacker NewsIs this fundamentally different than just using tags on issues to separate ready to work on things from initial user submissions?

One difference is that if I submit an issue, and it requires some back and forth to figure out the actionable improvement, then suddenly the issue is very noisy.
Whereas if it goes via a Discussion first, the back and forth happens elsewhere.
Arguably an separate issue could still do this, but it being a discussion sets the expectation better.
I feel like "technically, no" but "practically, yes".
Somehow the distinction of just adding a tag / using filters doesn't communicate the cultural/process distinction in the same way.
