I think I am going to convert some tasks to stories, so if
you wonder why I am reorganizing things in jira again, wonder
no more...

	As they say, "there's your problem".  A story should be
something that is owned by a single person who can commit to delivering
it by a certain time.  If it involves multiple people, it probably
shouldn't be a story.

	I don't think there's a problem with having short stories.  Many
bug fixes will be short, for example.
