I agree with Berker on this -- adding new keywords and components makes the 
tracker harder to use.  With more fields it is more difficult to 
find/select/understand all the right options while triaging and reviewing 
issues.  This might also lead to incomplete/incorrect classification.
When adding new keywords/components we should always evaluate if the benefits 
(better classification/easier search) outweigh this cost (UI cluttering/worse 
UX).
We have discussed in the past ways to address the UI/UX problem, such as tags 
or separate "triaging" (with all the fields/options) and "read-only" (with only 
the selected fields/options) views.  Until these are implemented I would prefer 
to err on the conservative side while adding new components/keywords.
