+Flag names
+----------
+
+Prerelease versions of Bugzilla 2.17 and 2.18 inadvertantly allowed
+commas and spaces in the names of flags, which due to the way they're
+processed, caused lots of internal havoc if you named flags to have
+any commas or spaces in them. Having commas or spaces in the names
+can cause errors in the notification emails and in the bug activity
+log. The ability to create new flags with these characters has been
+removed. If you have any existing flags that you named that way,
+running checksetup will attempt to automatically rename them by
+replacing commas and spaces with underscores.
