Thanks.  That list at least provides a decent set of examples.  When I
read "jurisdiction", I thought the usual US/legal sense, as in courts
ruling whether they have jurisdiction over a case or not, and my mind was
boggling...  I couldn't quite figure out how to boil such a concept down
into the itemized list you were describing.  The examples definitely help
me get my mind around the concept you intended!

I'd suggest putting at least one or two examples in whatever bug template
or HOWTO might result from this, if the thing isn't made an itemized list
as you suggested, anyway.

I know I had a /terrible/ time figuring out Gentoo's bug system for
regular bugs, and can easily envision myself having the same issues trying
to fit square pegs into crescent-moon-shaped <g> holes here, so some
sort of guide is SURE to prove beneficial.
