Well, that was my point but other Infra members disagree that we aren't
allowed to change this without full Council approval.

And to be honest, if I were to expand the topic, I'd rather go towards
Bugzilla components on 'Gentoo Linux'. Because right now most of them
don't make any sense, and are confusing to new users who don't know
what to choose. They're pretty much all legacy, and as I see it most of
them should be removed and bugs moved to a single common component.

But that's a topic for another trollfest, I guess.
