Enhancements as opposed to bugs

[Kevin Gunn]

thanks for the feedback.
it likely won't be something to be fixed in a short term - but i agree,
bugs (over blueprints) seem closer to being 'everything' you'd want when
looking at the vices & virtues of bugs vs blueprints.
i think what bugs are missing is a bit of aggregation & reporting ...as
well as a way to better reflect scheduling (for a big picture view)

in the near term - there is certainly nothing wrong with pre-pending to the
bug title...i would suggest "[ER]" for 'enhancement request'...
