OK, fair enough :-)

Here are some specific questions:

1) This data in JSON form is 157k for bugzilla.mozilla.org[0], and is
likely to be more for Bugzillas with more products, components or flags.
In particular, as flags are valid per-component, 2/3 of that 157k is
saying which flags are valid for every component.

It could be that people don't always want all the data. So I'd like to
add an option or two that they can add as parameters to not include some
stuff. The question is, what? I've added "flags=0" to remove all flags
stuff. You could still use the resulting data for anything except adding
flags to bugs or attachments. Are there other slices and dices which
might still be useful but of lower volume?

2) Does my reasoning for not wrapping Classifications around Products
make sense?

3) Can you think of any more params we should obviously expose?

4) Should we index the "group" hash by "id" or "name"? Both are unique.

5) Are there any plans to make request_group and grant_group multi-valued?
