Keywords are fully maintained (beyond the point of creation) on the bugs 
that utilize that keyword.  When there's no open bugs in that category, 
there's no bugs with the keyword.  Unlike umbrella bugs which would end up 
being closed and reopened as bugs are found.  There's no clear 'done' with 
umbrella bugs.  See 1001, the stack trace bug, for a classic case of where 
they're an anti-pattern.
