Products and components aren't deleted from Bugzilla, since the records of their bugs or the work done on them may be useful. Instead, usually they are changed to disable the creation of new bugs in their category. They can also be moved to a "Graveyard" area. | |||
An entire product can be moved to the "Graveyard" classification easily by someone who has the editclassifications permission. | |||
For a component to be retired from a still-active product: make a new product in the Graveyard classification that matches the still existing product, then ask IT to run move_bugs, and then contrib/reorg-tools/syncmsandversions.pl to autocreate the versions and milestones. | |||
