I see 2 problems here:
1. it makes sense when sharing with others *not* to share the triage
status. I mean, triage is really something that's relevant to my work
status (I want to work on this "Now" doesn't mean that everyone has to
work on this "Now"... on the contrary, they'll be happy to put that
"Later"). So changing the default to always sharing this is somewhat
killing the purpose of triage existing at all (in a collaborative
environment that is), or limiting it to a sort of global "urgency
status" shared by all.
2. once I adjust my sharing filters, won't this "big pile of untriaged
items" grow all by itself eventually? i.e. aren't we simply delaying the
problem? or just making it less likely because not the default behavior?
Cheers,
