I can't comment on the category topic as i'm not a user of this forums and don't create topics. I'm just answering to posts so i don't care about categories.
But i agree with the enhancements / feature requests category. As pointed out in [1] the "old" feature requests category just was orphaned. As long as no one from the development team is commenting something like "we're considering this as a feature" or "no, no way" people get frustrated if their feature request don't get any attraction / comments.
