Hi David,

Thus, I wouldn't necessarily rely on that term to locate all the RFEs that have been submitted over the years. Better to search for bugs with a severity of "enhancement."

Moreover, adding a note to the wiki that implies that adding this is common practice, when it overwhelmingly isn't, is rather presumptuous on your part. Why not encourage users to apply the feature that bugzilla already provides?

you are right. The only benefit of the RFE prefix would be in the email
notifications, which only include the severity level, if it changes.

Feel free to improve the section.
