	That's these bugs:

	Restrict custom fields to product/component:
	https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371995

	Which in turn should be implemented as a special case of this:
	https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291433

	Fields whose list of values depends on other fields:
	https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308253

	I already have code for that in NASA's Bugzilla, called PRACA,
for which I have full permission to contribute back to Bugzilla. The
most modern branch of PRACA is here:

	http://bzr.everythingsolved.com/nasa/praca4

	That has a LOT of extra customizations, of course, so you'd
have to pick the code out of there.

	The first thing that needs to be done is to extract the
Bugzilla::Field::Choice object from that code and bring it upstream.
