The notification spam seems silly and something that I would prioritize over renaming Planner inside of Teams. Comments are helpful for posting updates to a card and keeping that information in context of the work. Spamming an entire Group of people is distracting and out of context.

in The “Planner” app name in Teams has changed to “Tasks by Planner and To Do” on 02-24-2021
Tasks is such a more stressful name than Planner :(. The words have totally different meanings. As someone with a learning difficulty, an app like "Planner" is vital to thinking _forward_. "Tasks" has such urgency and makes me not want to use it. Is Planner going away as a concept forever?

I've read through several comments on the notifications topic. We use Planner regularly, for more and more tasks (Actions, Issues, Decisions, etc.) type items. I've found the only way to have more than the assignee notified of any updates is to add multiple "assignees" to the task, is that correct? ...
