Allô!

I'd like to call for action on reorganizing labels:
<https://github.com/kotest/kotest/labels?sort=count-asc>

As you can see we have 27. Some are duplicates, some are not used in a long time, some are used just sometimes, some are overused, etc etc...

What do you think? I'm suggesting this because I often go around triaging (just labelling) all issues, and would sometimes like different labels

I'd like to cut them back at least in half

i like having the ones for affected platforms. also the affected "slice" of kotest (assertions/framework/prop testing)

but sounds like it could be neat to tidy up a bit :slightly_smiling_face:

I like the 'slice' as well. I think that we are over-slicing MPP tho. We have `mpp`, `java`, `javascript`, `native` - We could bundle all of them in a 'multiplatform' flag

And I also think some slices are missing, but can't name an example now

Having a small set of combinable labels seems ideal to me. Like having a small API surface with composability. Leo, since you brought this up and bring so much triaging experience to the table, could you just come up with a suggestion?

• bug :bug:: Issues that report a problem or error in the code.
• enhancement :sparkles:: Suggestions for adding new features or improving existing ones.
• documentation :books:: Matters related to creating or updating project documentation.
• good-first-issue :baby:: Suitable for newcomers looking to contribute to the project.
• question :question:: Inquiries or clarifications needed about the project.
• pinned :pushpin:: Issues of high importance or that need to remain visible.
• assertions :mag:: Related to the assertion mechanisms within the testing framework.
• framework :building_construction:: Pertains to the core structure and components of the Kotest framework.
• maintenance :hammer_and_wrench:: This label is for issues and pull requests that involve routine updates, codebase  cleanup, and other non-feature work to keep the project running smoothly.
• multiplatform :globe_with_meridians:: This label is designated for issues and pull requests that concern the Kotest framework's compatibility or functionality across different platforms and environments.

I think we would probably need more for the slices <@UVAR0DXP0>, but I've left it open for our discussion on how much deeper we want to go
