"container-selinux-2.123.0-1.fc31" but the update author manually set it
to "container-selinux", which is clearly much less useful.
I think the web site UI can change the title to the component name like
that when you edit an existing update. It did it to me a couple of
times, I thought I was doing something wrong but maybe it's just a bug.
I think it's a bit confusing that in the old UI, the first input field was
for an autoconpleting package name, for automatically populating the
builds and bugs fields.
In the new UI, that "package name" field is gone, and instead, the first
input field is the "Update name" ... it took me some time to get used to
it.
Maybe the update name override should get moved to the far bottom of the
page? IMO it shouldn't be the first and most prominent input field since
it's *optional* and most people are currently using it wrong.
