Bugzilla keywords are labels (or tags) that can be applied to individual issues (aka tickets, bugs, reports) to annotate, classify or otherwise describe them in a structured manner.

Keywords are distinct from Components and other classification mechanisms in Bugzilla:

• Components are per product, Keywords are global.
• An issue can only belong to one Component at a time, but an issue may have multiple Keyword's.

Here is a current list of FreeBSD Bugzilla Keywords including their descriptions for use and the number of issues labelled with that keyword.

These keywords reflect issue subject, content or substance, rather than issue states or properties.

• iflib
• ipfilter
• ipv6

• mmccam
• mountroot
• pkgbase
• toolchain
