Mythtv does this in other places. For instance, in mythvideo only one 
mode shows the text large enough to be read from the sofa (I forget the 
name of the mode but can check) but this mode shows the full path to 
the file, so the end gets lost, and while it shows plot details, date 
and directory, it doesn't show us season and episode. Finding the next 
show to watch isn't easy.

Regards the difference between bugs and feature requests, my attitude 
at work is that the difference between the two is just that 
specification work is needed for the latter but not for the former. 
However, we let our end users report both using exactly the same UI and 
we track them in exactly the same database.
