[Design] [Decision] Renaming the Triage Status button.

[Mimi Yin]

So I think we should defer deciding what to name the Triage button  
for now and focus instead on bugs 9175 and 1170.

Bug# 9175 Why is the Triage Status sort button broken?
Bug# 11170 Disable Triage button when no items have section triage  
status

I think both are more critical to solving the user problem of "People  
can't figure out how to file triaged items out of NOW'. This is  
especially true of 9175. It's increasingly clear that the first place  
people go to try and purge triaged items out of NOW is the Triage  
Status column header.

I think no matter what we name the Triage button, the purge workflow  
won't be clear unless we fix 9175 and 11170.

I'm untargeting 11290 and recommending it be targeted to Future.
