@agelastic "you" meaning whom ? # @agelastic Yes, and in fact we did before. And your criticism would be just except that you are assuming our threat model. # @agelastic (Ah, you're at Atlassian) – so let's be honest, there's should be nothing wrong with assuming JIRA will keep a secret by default # @agelastic
