+Bug Types
+=========
+
+We organize bugs by type to make it easier to make triage decisions, get
+the bug to the right person to make a decision, and understand release
+quality.
+
+-  **Defect** regression, crash, hang, security vulnerability and any
+   other reported issue
+-  **Enhancement** new feature, improvement in UI, performance, etc. and
+   any other request for user-facing enhancements to the product, not
+   engineering changes
+-  **Task** refactoring, removal, replacement, enabling or disabling of
+   functionality and any other engineering task
+
+All bug types need triage decisions. Engineering :ref:`triages defects and
+tasks <Triage for Bugzilla>`. Product management :ref:`triages
+enhancements <New Feature Triage>`.
+
+It’s important to distinguish an enhancement from other types because
+they use different triage queues.
+
+Distinguishing between defects and tasks is important because we want to
+understand code quality and reduce the number of defects we introduce as
+we work on new features and fix existing defects.
+
+When triaging, a task can be as important as a defect. A behind the
+scenes change to how a thread is handled can affect performance as seen
+by a user.
