I've seen anecdotal evidence that some assignees actually prefer having
`[RFE]' in the summary of enhancements, as the `enh' in the `Severity'
column apparently doesn't make it clear enough which bugs in their
buglist are enhancements.

I filed this over a year ago -- `Use color to indicate severity in bug
lists' <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36013>. IMHO, it's
probably the most easily implementable usability improvement for
Bugzilla currently.
