@dhmlau As we discussed, we have already committed 66 story points in total, I am afraid it's a little beyond our velocity, shall we move some committed stories into the stretch goal? I would suggest the two relation tasks that not estimated yet, and the validation story with 13 points:

• incorporating relations in examples #1358 (needs estimate)
• Use relational decorators' metadata to construct constrained target repository instance on relational properties #1354 (needs estimate)
• Router: validate input parameters #118

thought @strongloop/lb-next-dev ?

[bajtos]

+1 to reduce the scope.

As for relations, I think we should remove "hasMany doc + blog #1351" instead of one of the coding story, because the blog should be the last story in the epic to work on.

[dhmlau]

+1 in removing "hasMany doc + blog" #1351 in june milestone.
At first I was thinking it might be good to move to stretch goals, but given the amount of work needed to be done in this epic, we may not be able to contain it at all.

[b-admike]

I'm okay to leave #1351 out of the milestone and possibly #1358 as a stretch goal.

[jannyHou]

Thanks for all suggestions, l modified the list according to our chat above, I moved #1358 to stretch goal, and deferred the blog issue #1351 to next milestone.

And any objection on moving "Router: validate input parameters" #118 into the stretch goal? @strongloop/sq-lb-apex @raymondfeng @bajtos ?

[bajtos]

@jannyHou the changes you made are fine.
