"Exotic" GNATS 4 fields

I'd like a comment on the following

I am just wrapping up the revised chapter 1 of the GNATS 4 manual and I noticed that there are several fields in version 4 that don't have counterparts in standard version 3 installations and which seem to be somewhat "exotic" (i.e. not of use to the majority of GNATS sites). These are:

"Cases" (I have found no explanation of what it is for)
"Keywords" (which seem to have little use as long as there aren't any tools for indexing the GNATS database apart from gen-index which doesn't seem to have anything to do with this field)
"Quarter" (Not exactly sure what this is -- target quarter for a fix?)
"Release-Note"

I assume the latter three amount to what makes GNATS "release-based".

I suggest we remove these four fields from the standard dbconfig.in of GNATS 4 and that we subsequently provide another sample dbconfig file for those migrating an older release-based GNATS installation.

What do you all think?
