Yes.  Nothing is broken.  There is no "bug" to fix.

It's not an "enhanced" bug, the bug is a request for an improvement (aka
enhance_ment_). Severity is meant to give you a way of categorizing open bugs by
how important they are, as you may want to fix actual bugs before worrying
about adding features.  Maybe you don't use bugzilla like that but some
people do and lumping these bugs in with the "normal" ones prevents them from
doing so.
