ATF v1 had the concept of Badges, which are like awards that users received for doing something, like having a recipe that had 500 views or submitted bug reports, I even have a developer badge on my profile. Badges were just ways to reward users for contributions and a thanks for being a part of the community. Now, badges are coming back in ATF v2.

Yesterday, I submitted a pull request for All the Flavors to reintroduce Badges. They've been present on user profiles for ATF v1 users, but we haven't issued them since moving to ATF v2. Once the pull request is reviewed and approved, we'll be able to introduce new badges for Users, Recipes, and Vendors. ATF v1 only support them for Users.

We have a lot of exciting new things coming with badges, they are just another step and help restore one more feature we didn't fully implement in v2. There aren't many of those v1 features left, so the new stuff coming is pushing us more toward v3 than adding v1 parity.

I hadn't been talking a lot about All the Flavors here, so I think I'll start. This new stuff is maybe going to change our part of the DIY world.
