 Any issue labeled ~"design artifact" should not also be labeled ~"frontend" or ~"backend" since no development is 
 needed until the solution has been decided.
 
 ~"design artifact" issues are like any other issue and should contain a milestone label, ~"Deliverable" or ~"Stretch", when scheduled in the current milestone.

+To prevent the misunderstanding that a feature will be be delivered in the
