Oh, OK.  It was the general | security category that did that then.

I think those *should* go to the security team and be made private 
automatically, just in case someone is inadvertently providing sensitive 
information that should be treated in confidence.

Then when the issue is seen by the Security Team, we can decide whether to 
change its classification, as I just did with Issue 127117.

I see that the explanation in the Bugzilla help for the general category is 
clear.  And we should continue to keep those automatically private until 
reviewed.

Removing general | security seems like a bad idea.  We just have to ensure it 
is used properly by providing the safeguard that's there now.

Does that work?
