Comment (by adamwill):

 I like the general idea there, but it's worth keeping in the collective
 memory that the use of the whiteboard field was originally a bit of a lazy
 workaround, and we intended to replace it with keywords or flags or
 something more sophisticated later; we've just been too lazy to do so so
 far. The main drawback of using the whiteboard field is it's too easy to
 make a mistake in entering data into it, as it's entirely freeform. If you
 typo a keyword, Bugzilla refuses to accept it. If you typo a whiteboard
 field, it'll go through just fine...but then searches will miss it.

 A smaller drawback is the whiteboard field in the web interface can get
 kinda overloaded and be hard to look through. It's also slightly harder to
 do searches on it (it's a custom field in the search form).
