That's a problem with our status reporting, not with the fact that there 
are RFE's in the issue tracker ;)

Adding a 'bug' keyword to go along with the existing 'rfe' keyword might 
have some merit, allowing separate stats to be reported for 'rfe', 'bug' 
and 'uncategorised' (neither the 'bug' nor the 'rfe' keywords have been 
set).

It may also be interesting to separate out the documentation bugs (based 
on the existing category field), as while those are traps for the unwary 
and need to be fixed, they're easy to deal with once you realise that 
the documentation is wrong.

Cheers,
Nick.
