16 If we're updating the language of this it is probably worthwhile to
17 clarify the possibility of a CLASSIFIED bug c.f. [0]: "There are three
18 different types of restricted bugs. The first (and most secret) ones
19 are the CLASSIFIED bugs. A bug is classified when it contains
20 information that should never be released. This includes quotes of
21 personal emails sent to restricted mailing-lists or non-public
22 intermediary patches. Classified bugs are identified by the CLASSIFIED
23 keyword in their Status Whiteboard. Once CLASSIFIED, a bug cannot go
24 back to unclassified status unless at least two security managers
25 agree to declassify it. CLASSIFIED bugs should never be opened
26 (unrestricted). "
27
28 the language matches the more common "The second type of restricted
29 bugs is CONFIDENTIAL bugs. These are bugs that contain information
30 that should be kept secret until an agreed-upon coordinated release
31 date. No part of the bug (affected package name, description, proposed
32 patch or whatever) should ever leak outside the bug. Patches must NOT
33 be committed to portage CVS."
