Announcing sunset of Bitbucket Issues and Wikis

[barried]

We were already considering moving to Github for awhile now (since it has pages which is much nicer than paying for a 3rd party like readthedocs, and we already pay for github copilot which is better than Rovo for reviews); I guess this just forces us to relocate to github repos sooner.  It is a shame to see the end of Atlassian.

Will we lose images that we've attached to Bitbucket issues? E.g. https://bitbucket.org/repo/XYZ/images/foo.PNG

I received the email about this change a month ago, and I’m genuinely disappointed by it. Wikis were an important feature of Bitbucket repositories for me, and now we will need to seek other services to host that information online.

The issue tracker was also a simple and effective way to organize our development projects, so its removal will be a loss for me as well.

I wonder whether there will be any reduction in Bitbucket pricing to reflect the diminished service offering. Instead, Atlassian will likely charge us again if we migrate this information to Confluence or Jira to keep it available online in the future.

I now have a strong reason to ask my company to move to another repository service, especially since younger colleagues already ask why we use Bitbucket in the first place.

It is unfortunate when companies acquire another business only to gradually eliminate the valuable features that made the original service worthwhile in the first place.
