Really what we need to do is enable product grouping, and move extensions
up a level to each be products. Products can changes groups, but components
cannot change products (which is how we have them set up now). Then we
can enable a Trash-bin type group for retired products. Mozilla does this, it's
called their Graveyard.

We can move forward with this, if we'd like. Would want to schedule a window
to do it in, would cause a *lot* of bugspam for the mass re-assigning of
stuff.
