Hypothesis: the moment a team adds the requirement that each PR/commit should be related to a Jira issue, it will start accumulating even more tech debt than before.

This requirement adds a penalty for making small, unrelated improvements that get the project in a better shape.

@mfowler not ever using Jira is a hill I'm more than prepared to die on. But that's probably not your point. In any case, if that happened at my company, with any bug tracker, I'd start looking for another job!
