Mike Cohn article suggesting that using the standard “As a <type of user>, I want <some goal>, so that <some reason>” user story template is a useful way to capture non-functional requirements and system constraints.
Good discussion in the comments about whether these should sit in the backlog or be held as ongoing cross-cutting items.
