Summary: RFE versus Bug group Feature Request

Initial Comment:
The Category is 'Source Forge Item Tracker'.  The 
possible bug is the redundancy of having both an RFE 
(Request For Enhancement) list separate from the Bugs 
list and a Feature Request Group within Bugs.  Is this 
intentional or an historical artifact that should be 
removed in order to direct feature requests one place or 
another.

In the meanwhile...
is it appropriate to recommend that requests go in RFE (as I 
somewhat ignorantly and indirectly did today, see #960325) 
or is this a "don't care" issue for the developers (that I should 
ignore)?

Sorry, we can't do anything about this.  Group names cannot 
be deleted in SourceForge's system, and can't even be 
renamed.  So we'll have a "Feature Request" Group in the 
Bugs tracker forever -- or unless SF changes their system.

When we first moved to SF, RFE trackers didn't exist.  That's 
why Bugs grew a Feature Request group to begin with.

Closing as 3rdParty, WontFix.
