My first reaction is that it'd be nice to not have a bunch of old cruft 
around, but if we autoclose them and we could get the migrated bugs to 
have the same ID it would simplify having the old links still work with 
just a simple redirect to the new URL with the same ID, and it would 
mean that we wouldn't need to keep the current bugtracker around for the 
indefinite future.

I feel like having core and extra as separate products would make 
searching and filling in the component field a *lot* easier, because 
that's pretty much my biggest annoyance with e.g. the GNOME bugzilla, 
their component lists are huge and it's really hard to browse through 
them.
