I think it could be interesting to allow arbitrary words here. For example, I recently walked through history to find a performance regression, it would have been natural to use slow/fast instead of bad/good (bad/good would actually do the job, but slightly less naturally). One can look for a change which is neither a fix nor a bug (e.g. when did command foo start behaving like that? when did we start using such or such feature in the code).

I wouldn't fight for it, but I think it makes sense.
