99688 - Please remove MozillaClassic -> Composer bug category

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[Syd Logan]

This bug category is bit rotted, has not had activity in a long time, and is not
being triaged. The fear is that people will file bugs there that belong in
Browser -> Editor: Composer

Thanks

Empty it first, then we can remove it.

This bug is for old mozilla classic bugs. It being here is bad because reporters
might get confused and file stuff here. The bugs here cannot (or should not) be
moved to some other bug because they don't belong elsewhere. Timeless had a good
idea, maybe we can rename the bug component so it is clear? Or can we just
delete all of the bugs somehow?

won'tfix. users cannot file bugs on mozclassic (we don't give them the product
to select from in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi) and the chances
that a user is going to reassign a bug to the mozclassic Product is pretty slim.
They won't see Composer as a mozclassic choice until they select mozclassic
Product and submit so there's really not much to worry about. 

Did someone find a current Composer bug in the mozclassic composer component?

sounds fine w/ me. the only reason i could see to remove it would be to prevent 
people from trying to search for composer bugs by selecting 'Composer' in the 
component field.

agreed that it would be nice if we could remove it to clean up the query.gci
component list. I encourage the folks who query to select a product or two. I
have a default query set to only include that products that we ship in default
Mozilla builds (Browser, Directrory, MailNews, PSM, NSS, and NSPR).
