+1 on the shortened list of JIRA categories. The current granularity doesn't seem to be all that helpful. I'm not sure if there needs to be a separate section for user questions -- with the shortened list it should be possible for even the newest of users to find a home for a JIRA. Similarly for "Ideas", it seems like most issues would fit into one of the other categories. Are there current examples of JIRAs that would fit best in a separate "Ideas" section?
