Hardcoded Data In Code

About This Script

Whimsy tools integrate directly with a wide variety of private and public data and processes within the ASF. Many tools also hardcode lists or mappings of data that is canonically stored elsewhere. This is a partial list.

Many of these hardcoded lists are good things, and are in the right part of the code. Some lists may turn out to be better stored elsewhere, either in Whimsy or other repos.
