Interesting, that means categorizing them also from a "different axis".

- "bug" vs "enhancement": I'm not sure we need both, maybe we can use
  only "enhancement" to replace the "RFE" prefix used in issues

- "documentation": definitely something I had in mind, apparently forgot
  to add it to my list -- done now

- "support": I think that user questions (neither bugs nor RFEs) should
  be closed, and redirecting users to this list; I personally do not
  like how sometimes the issue trackers in github/gitlab projects turn
  into user forums, and it becomes really hard to look for issues

- "discussion": similar issue than "support" IMHO

Yes, that's what I had in mind.
