The Base System category still contains component entries for the alpha and ia64 architectures. FreeBSD removed support for these platforms in 6.4 and 10.4 respectively [1]. Neither component contains any open bugs, so it would seem that they could be retired.

Since people may need to reference historical bugs, this probably isn't a good idea. Closing.
