Well, your comments are correct as far as they go. In this case there's nothing particularly sensitive that I can see in that RFE but in general if a company files an RFE that contains information about their company/business/strategy they may want it kept away from public view. There are some RFEs with just those attributes in bugzilla, what would you expect where company confidential information is involved? There are ways around it but that's up to the bug reviewers to set and/or change.
There are often duplicates filed because the initial search doesn't turn-up a match (I've done it myself) and again that's for the bug reviewers to correct.
