- We can't
configure an issue template at the group level because of Free Tier: [Group Templates](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/description_templates/#set-group-level-description-templates).
- We can't configure a group level CONTRIBUTING.md file, and users are forced to copy and paste every time (have fun making updates too) or otherwise ignore (and there is no way to turn off prompt on right side of every project if your CONTRIBUTING.md file is missing.
- We can't disable Evidence Collection on releases. This is a feature that appears to be solving a problem we don't have, at least not yet. GitHub didn't have this, and I don't see any reason for it. It is just distracting and confusing. Apparently if we use a bogus historical release date it might disable it, but using a bogus date isn't great as that's one of the primary pieces of important info on a release.
- We can't disable the CHANGELOG.md prompt, meaning if you don't have one, you'll be endlessly prompted to add one. A CHANGELOG is great, but it is really just duplicating the release notes associated with a release. You don't really need both. GitHub doesn't push users to use a CHANGELOG, and all changes in my workflows (the release notes) are actually included in the release itself.
Other items that we may not care about at the moment, but aren't available in Free (not comprehensive, just things that popped out):
-[Group level branch protection rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/repository/branches/protected/#in-a-group) - I thought we needed this to protect our group ACCESS_TOKEN, but after discussions with Mark, sounds like prob not.
