I don't necessary see the distinction the bug reports are short, and new 
ports or enhancements in a port are long term. I can see plenty of cases 
where it would be the exact opposite way around. All of the above could 
be address quickly in some cases.

I am suggesting an explicit label that is used in cases where we want to 
keep a report long term, for whatever reasons. I cannot think of a good 
name right now, but something different to the type of ticket. That 
label could then be used to filter them out, for instance, in some cases.
