I think that's the point Henri was trying to make. Most of these components are useless.

Sure, you *can* pinpoint every component down, but as Henri said, if you do that, what's most likely to happen is you end up writing a patch.

It's probably worth checking every category and remove the ones with less than 5-10 open bugs.

Sorry, but honestly, in order to support an idea if adding/changing something
in Wine bugzilla one should spend several months actively triaging bugs first.

Personally to me, adding a bunch of unknown-* components will just needlessly
clutter the components list, it's already too big.
