    And the example is what I call a "naked TODO" == there's nothing that indicates what it is that someone wanted TODO.

    Since TODOs in production code are only supposed to be there a short time, and provided your team actually tries to clean them up in a timely fashion (ha!), it's quite reasonable to leave ticket numbers there. (Less opportunity to change the ticket system and invalidate all the numbers, that sort of thing.)
