In general, I agree. However, and please correct me if I am wrong, our use case is to put
milestones into db before the testing starts (before the app is actually used by anyone).
Then there is a testing period and then there is a testing break during which the session
expires. And after the break we put the new milestones into db again. In this scenario I
don't see the problem with refreshing the milestones. Or do we add/delete/change
milestones during the testing period? Or are we planning to do that? If so, we should use
the g object, otherwise, I think we're better off with session.
