It's not really a question of what Triage needs, but what the committers as a whole would find most useful. As I said in another note, I think having a separate OS selection would cause just as many triage issues as the current setup does. So the question is, what would developers and bug searchers/submitters find useful? That said, it's easier to add components and keywords than it is to add a new selection box. I know how to do the former but not (yet) the latter. -- R.
