I think most of us can get away with being sloppier than that. I like the simple structure of the Linux git commits. They start with a scope, which is how the directories in the repository are organized. I would rather spend effort on coming up with proper scopes instead of categorizing commits into types. Individual commits are often part of a bigger story, so such categorization is not even that useful.
