It would. Exactly how blocks, depends_on and see_also integrate in that 
world is a... complicated question.

But I think you could, without problem, define the fields as either bug 
number (in which case, it's the current installation) or URL.

I don't want to have both, because it's an extra level of indirection. 
Perhaps I do just want URLs everywhere, and no bug numbers? Hmm...

Max, what do you think? Is it RESTfully right for blocks (and 
depends_on, and other fields which contain bug numbers) to look like the 
above?
