Hi,

works well for me. However once I have visited one of those Structures I
will see that particular structure in every Card I have, related or not to
that structure. That is annoying a bit.

Now for a little off-topic. It got me thinking: we already have hierarchies
of Blueprints - and those work well for me personally. Hierarchy of cards
encourages small cards and small cards bring details I'm convinced TSC is
not interested in. Should we say "Card is a high-level mission" and stop
worrying too much about a card being the proper size for our 3 months
iterations? Make Card a roadmap item where the expected delivery matters.

Br,

--jakub
