Queries for bugmeister QA

These are some queries for "situations that probably ought not to exist in Bugzilla". These can either be things such as now-unsupported FreeBSD versions, or other things that were never right in the fist place. For comparison, see the list of regular queries.

Bugmeister should check these regularly and reclassify/clean up if necessary.
