  The absence of a supernova accompanying the nearby long GRB 060614 poses a
great puzzle about the progenitor of this event and challenges the current GRB
classification scheme. This burst displays a short-hard emission episode
followed by extended soft emission with strong spectral evolution. Noticing
that this burst has an isotropic gamma-ray energy only ~8 times that of GRB
050724, a good candidate of merger-type short GRBs, we generate a ``pseudo''
burst that is ~8 times less energetic than GRB 060614 based on the spectral
properties of GRB 060614 and the Ep ~ Eiso^{1/2} (Amati) relation. We find that
this pseudo-burst would have been detected by BATSE as a marginal
short-duration GRB, and would have properties in the Swift BAT and XRT bands
similar to GRB 050724. This suggests that GRB 060614 is likely a more intense
event in the traditional short-hard GRB category as would be detected by BATSE.
Events like GRB 060614 that seem to defy the traditional short vs. long
classification of GRBs may require modification of our classification
terminology for GRBs. By analogy with supernova classifications, we suggest
that GRBs be classified into Type I (typically short and associated with old
populations) and Type II (typically long and associated with young
populations). We propose that GRB 060614 belongs to Type I, and predict that
similar events will be detected in elliptical galaxies.
