There have been many times, and several in the last few days (
https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/issues/8291,
https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/issues/8263) when I wanted to
label an issue as 'bug' but the semantics of the word "bug" don't really
apply. For me, "bug" means "somebody made a programming mistake at some
point". This doesn't apply to the issues linked above. I would say about
them "the system, as it is currently implemented, fails (or may fail) under
certain circumstances and shall be improved". PRs which would fix these
issues shall be labelled 'Improvement'.

I think renaming 'bug' into 'defect' would be useful to broaden the
applicability of the label.
