Bugzilla components of retired packages

[Michael Cronenworth]

Can we get retired packages out of the active Bugzilla component list?

I just created a bug for a retired package and had to fix it...

Bugzilla allows components to be disabled rather than deleted in case the bugs need 
to be searched for or a package comes out of retirement.

Unfortunately the only way I see to automate this process is the REST API in 5.0.

Thanks,
Michael
