Is it possible to update the available list of Feature 'types'?

Within the feature objects the type field permits the categorization of features into buckets (i.e. Business, enabler, Architecture etc.). 
Is it possible to amend this list for our purposes?
For example, one of the selectable Feature 'types' is 'Risk' which doesn't make much sense in our world, so we'd like to remove it from the list.
We also have some additional Feature 'types' that we'd like to add.

Thanks for the help!

@Bob Hunt just to add to the previous answers, for us "Risk" is also not applicable so what we did was sync the field and values between Jira and Jira Align for Features (Jira Epics), except we did not add the value "Risk" in Jira, so if a user selects "Risk" in JA, as it doesn't exist in Jira, it updates to "Not Set". It was the best workaround we could find to not use "risk" in our organization. Hope it helps.

@Bob Hunt Hey! It's not possible to change what is listed in the Type dropdown for a Feature. The capability to do that is only available at the Story level. To see what dropdowns can be modified, you check via the following path. This is only accessible by someone with an Admin system role. Settings > Platform > Dropdowns tab > click the Dropdown dropdown.

Thank you all for your responses!
Many of the types are really helpful but it would really be nice to be able to modify the list (i.e. remove the ones that don't apply for a particular organization).
