I'm not certain that it belongs in this list since it should likely just be treated as a regular extended attribute. Although part of the ITaskMapping, which allows Mylyn to get such a field if it exists from the repository, it does not have explicit representation on ITask, nor is it given any explicit UI representation (unlike priority). One exceptions to this is the Bugzilla Connector, where I've mapped Bugzilla severity to Task Kind, resulting in 'severity' icons decorating the task icons in the task list. This is a hack, and generally speaking other repositories have a first class 'Task Kind' which translates into appropriate decoration in Mylyn's Task List (ITask.getTaskKind()).

Some exploratory work has taken place on this but only within the Bugzilla Connector and not at the framework level.
