Former ('functional') is for the actual project code itself.

Latter ('hosting') is for supporting systems and software - that is, the
hosting system(s) that the actual project code runs on.

Both are "functional," and, it can be very helpful to separate functional
problems with "our" stuff from functional problems with "their" (e.g.
hosting provider) stuff.

That could be written up as a bug, or as a suggestion; I have used at
least one system that has a type 'performance description' which could be
applicable for some of the "ease of use" stuff as well as actual
hardware/software performance issues that for whatever reasons are not
'bugs'.

For now I would prefer to just use type 'bug' or 'suggestion' for ease of
use and user feedback issues, respectively.
If it's hard to use, that's a bug at some level.
If users want it to work differently than it does but nothing is 'broken'
that's a suggestion of some kind.

cheers,
John S.
