Yeah, I can imagine people do not like the separation. But I also agree it makes sense. If you some of the discussions on issues, esp. when dealing with larger chunks of functionality or controversial features. These issues remain open, and hence ‘on the backlog’ eternally. And that may affect the workflow (or even how people perceive the project, e.g. such as those with thousands of open issues). Issues and Discussions have different commenting UI also, where the latter is threaded.
How? Isn’t general development discussion actually an issue? If a discussion comes to a point and gets implemented, it is essentially an issue,…

Usually? And when it is not?
See, I don’t see any reasons why a feature discussion shouldn’t be an issue. “Issue” is just a fancy name for “Discussion”, isn’t it? So basically, these are all some kind of linear or tree-style discussion of some specific topic. There’s nothing more to it, is there?
So I don’t see why they should be seperate at all. Differentiation can be done via tags, labels, … or whatever you’d like to call it. That’s there already of course.

I have been a developer for over 10 years now.
I don’t see why an issue must be assigned to a milestone, so I don’t see how an issue can break any lifecycle.

The Github Discusions is relatively new feature they added. I did not see many projects yet that are very actively using it.
How an issue is used in a development project is “it depends”. Whatever the chosen and preferred method of the maintainers is. If you really want a concise backlog with concrete stuff, and no “pie in the sky” musings on future major extensions, then Discussion section can be very handy. If you don’t use discussions, you may end in a situation where off-topic’ish issues sit in the backlog like forever, and pile up.
