[Hawkular-dev] [process] tickets and PRs

I'm opposed to that as a rule.

If a PR has been under works for several days and impacts more than an 
handful of files, then I think it should be created ASAP so that the 
review can start early and be split in small commits.

I think you can't expect a good job from the reviewer when the diff says
"Showing 60 changed files with 3,593 additions and 2,530 deletions."

Maybe I'm a slacker :)
