Abstractions leak. If exposing our data model confuses users, that
suggests there is something wrong with the data model :)

Perhaps we should be dropping the field instead (still audit for it,
but not model it).

That said, personally, I think 'task age' (not 'bug task age') is
clearly different to 'bug age'. In the context of the IssueTracker
discussions, I think tasks have a room for greater prominence.
