The WT coding style says that "Comments should ... not reference Jira ticket numbers nor pull request number."

Today, however, we routinely use comments of the form FIXME-WT-99999 to indicate deficiencies or opportunities for improvement in the code and provide a pointer to an existing open ticket. This is useful and widely used. A quick search shows over 70 tickets referenced this way. We have also built this into our process, with tools like s_mentions that ensure these comments don't remain when the corresponding ticket is closed.

This is all to say, that we should update our coding style to reflect our current practice.
