src/guide/jbs-jdk-bug-system.md line 100:

> 98: * [Affects Version/s]{.jbs-field} should never use any of the "special" values available in JBS like [tbd]{.jbs-value}, [na]{.jbs-value}, [unknown]{.jbs-value}, [(Rel)-pool]{.jbs-value} or similar. Only actual JDK release numbers should be used. If you want to reflect that an issue is relevant to an older release, use a family release value or an exact release if you know where the issue was introduced: [8]{.jbs-value}, [17]{.jbs-value}, [21.0.4]{.jbs-value}.

Will the quotation mark affect the link on some weird way?
Used the anchor `#use-rel-na-label-if-a-bug-doesnt-affect-a-release` for this.
