and there it is, under "fedora core", "devel".  so what's the
guidelines for how one selects, say, a release to search under?  i
mean, if i'm installing FC3 for the first time, and i see this problem
for the first time, and i search using what i *think* are reasonably
comprehensive search criteria, i still might come up with nothing.

what's the policy for how bugs get categorized?  if something is still
a bug in FC3, should i not expect to find it categorized there in
bugzilla?  just looking for guidance here.
