Hi,

I renamed it on request. It was such a minor change that I didn't see an issue 
especially since the component doesn't have a default assignee. Obviously that 
is not the case. 

Paul, you have to rename your filter again. Filtering on the name string is 
rather stupid but that's what jira does. It should really filter on component 
ID which does internally exist. Not Paul's fault though but I need to remember 
this.

I hope you reassigned it to another person? Otherwise they just end up in a 
virtual dead end considering that their is no ownership in the component.

I changed it back for now. Before we create any new components I would like to 
see some ownership. Otherwise this is just an exercise in moving from one 
bucket to the next without any purpose.

As I commented in the task, I would like to request a reversal of the "Non-
Latin languages" renaming. On Android, we use exactly the same infrastructure
for input of Latin-based languages. (Also, there are several non-Latin scripts
that can use simple keyboard input on a desktop computer.) If we have to
rename, I support Thiago's suggestion of "Complex input methods", possibly
with a "text" or "language" thrown in.

[Apology in advance for small rant.]

In the future, could we please not rename components silently without warning?
This renaming effectively edited several of my tasks, making them misleading.
As a bonus it also messed up my filters.
