This is one thing I disagree with.  The priority 'enhancement' makes it 
very easy to filter search results to hide those.  If even more separation 
is desired I could setup another component or even another product to 
house them.  Many many projects use bugzilla rather successfully for 
tracking enhancement requests and the resulting discussions.

What's your reason for objecting to enhancements being in this bugzilla 
instance?  Is it ease of data inspection?  If so, I suspect your issues 
would be easy to work out with a little help understanding how to use it's 
search features.  If it's something else, let's discuss how to make it 
work out best for everyone.

Thoughts?

Later,
Brad
