We can argue a long time about labels and their usage and about the formal definition of those.

What I think really matters is that the issues, especially real bugs, with security issues being the absolute #1 priority, are tackled in a timely manner.

Hi Mike

I agree, the bug label should mean: this is something breaking
*compared* to a previous commit (as we don't have release yet :)). The
GH Issues considering a "bug" not related to a previous commit is an
"improvement" to me: it's not a bug introduced on top of a previous
commit but more an "general concern/bug" we have in mind, so an
improvement on the existing.

To sum-up:
- we should use "bug" for issue introduced by a commit after another
commit (history)
- we should use "improvement" for issue/improvement we want to
implement (it could be considered as a bug from a personal standpoint
but not related to project history)
- we should use "new feature" for new functionality we want to
implement in the project
- we should use "proposal" for design/MVP

Hey folks

There are over 40 issues with the "bug" label in github right now, many of
which are not actually bugs, but seem to me like personal preferences or
possible improvements. A lot of these issues seem like reasonable or good
changes to me, but I think we should reserve the "bug" label for things
that are actual bugs. Can we remove the bug label from issues that aren't
actually broken?
