Details
When a user selects severity enchancement, the Platform and OS option menus
should be set to All, since (I would think) the majority of enhancements
are platform and OS neutral; if an enhancment isn't plaform/OS neutral,
the user can then set them as appropriate.

Bit hard, because the concept of enhancement is not hardcoded in anywhere.
And the proposal to split enhancement out of severity (bug #9412) doesn't do it
either.
Not sure what the best way to do this would be.
Also, while Product is known before entering the bug, enhancement status isn't.
So perhaps we could include Javascript buttons to change them to all/all or the
browser detected setting.
Or alternatively do something like:
Platform/OS:
[ ] All
[ ] Browser Detected Settings Platform: Blah OS: Blah
[ ] Other ...
But I'm not sure that's worth it.

Under the "additional comments field" in Bugzilla, there's "Resolve bug,
changing resoultion to" followed by a option menu; if you change the value
of the option menu, then the active radio button gets set to "resolve bug".
However this is done (with Javascript, I presume), the same sort of thing
could be done when the severity field is set to "enhancement"; it doesn't
seem like it should be that hard.

I'd be wary of doing this, since it means the user can't easily set an
enhancement that is platform specific.
Changing things behind people's back isn't a good idea.

I don't think this should be done. There's no way of knowing a thing about
"majority of enhancements" in all the world's Bugzilla installations. In some
cases things can be extremely platform-specific.
It's a bad thing to introduce behavior that can cause data loss. The horror
scenario ;-): Reporter marks the os, sets enhancement severity (os is set to
all), writes a description without mentioning the OS - after all, he DID set it
earlier - and then submits. Boom! We have a feature report with no clue about
what the OS might be.
It's much easier for the QA to evaluate reports manually ("is this really
OS-specific or not?") and then change the bug than what it is for them to try to
find out which OS the reporter might have meant.

I don't think this is a good idea, too. Please leave this as it is. (There is so
much more important to be done)

This looks like an extension of Bug 9410, I'm adding a dependency.
Depends on: 9410

Too many people against this feature, including myself.
