This was a request from the new Advanced Document Collaboration SC.  This 
will make it easier for them to find existing issues related to change 
tracking as well as to associate any new related issues that may be 
entered by them.

Components generally describe the "feature" of ODF reported in the issue, 
such as text, charts, encryption. etc.  "Change tracking" was not 
previously broken out as its own component in JIRA.  Now it is.

If you find an issue in the CSD 06, write it up in JIRA.  "Find version" 
is obviously CSD 06.  But what do you put for "Fix version"?  In some 
cases the issue author might recommend ODF-Next, which means they are 
recommending the issue be deferred.  In other cases they might think the 
issue is critical and must be fixed, in which case they would pick CSD 07. 
 We should probably also put something intermediate to indicate that the 
issue is important, but not substantive (meaning, does not involve 
conformance) in which case it could be assigned to ODF 1.2 Errata 01.

Let's see how many comments we receive in the next few weeks.  I'm a firm 
believer that with 2000 comments no process is going to work well, but 
with 5 comments almost any process will work.
