That makes even more sense. I guess I was only looking at it from a navigation standpoint. But, you're totally right. Tiers...I so don't want to talk about tiers. :P “I’d really only use a hierarchical facet at those spots where offering an option doesn’t make sense.”

Tiers…I so don’t want to talk about tiers. :P

I'd really only use a hierarchical facet at those spots where offering an option doesn't make sense. Shipping-in is such a data point, where you could offer a selection "shipped in 3.0.x" by grouping all the 3.0.1 through 3.0.7 together. Another possible hierarchical facet could be the tiers facet. The list of tiers might be different between Firefox, Thunderbird, Fennec. To me, the beauty of faceted browsing is really that you’re not having a hierarchical navigation structure.

But, in the hierarchical facets concept, the tree structure is what we would have to discuss. In the columns on l10n dashboard, do we start with locale? Product/tree? Then, what falls in line after that? Precisely, that is where I am going. But, in the hierarchical facets concept, the tree structure is what we would have to discuss.
