Category:  	 the products/components to which attachments must (inclusions) or
must not (exclusions) belong in order for users to be able to set flags of this
type for them

Huh?

Sounds more like Restriction/Applicability or something.
Yeah, I agree. At the least, that sentence is pretty confusing.

Yeah, this could be better worded.  But it's useful to have word that means "the
product/component combination to which this bug belongs," and in the future (or
today) that should probably also include classification.  I used the word
"category" for that.  Perhaps there's a better word, or perhaps the word is
ultimately "component" once arbitrary component levels get implemented (if ever).
i think "components" works
