Okay, that sounds reasonable, provided all non-user-defined fields are standard, or otherwise illegal. Another standard field (i.e. non-X[BSC] ) I found is `Bugs'; seems they are hinting someone or something like BTS or LP, though I'm not exactly sure if it is good candidate for reuse [1]. I also sorted packages on per field basis [2] (most interesting fields, not all). I'd also like to collect some data and feedback first, then we can file bugs and hopefully create patches. For instance, where to document the user-defined fields: devref, wiki, not-documented anywhere, since they are not meant to be reused or it is quite unlikely.
