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.
