Since I have started to work with Zenoss 4 (core), I have a strange feeling that Zenoss is not that much maintained, but instead pilling up commercial features. Eg this time is a 4 years old bug where the type has been changed from "defect" to "enhancement". The worst is, this bug could apparently be fixed with this simple patch:

Matt, you seem to be the "enhancement" owner, any chance you give it a go ?
