I strongly disagree here. It is not uncommon to have a user report a bug 
against an old version of GHC. When the reporter sets a version of, say, 
7.6.3 these days, we know that the bug is quite clearly old and may 
already be fixed.

I use the Template Haskell component field to quickly search for all TH 
tickets. That said, the line between Component and Keyword is very murky 
and ought to be straightened out. I'm thus not against scrapping 
Component, but I wouldn't want data loss during the conversion: an 
updated Component field should be retained as a tag.
