> 106: - Don't use the label to indicate that a bug is not relevant to an earlier release. If for example [Affects Version/s]{.jbs-field} is [11.0.20]{.jbs-value}, [17]{.jbs-value} the label [8-na]{.jbs-label} would not be needed. Since the bug doesn't have [Affects Version/s]{.jbs-field} [8]{.jbs-value} or earlier, it is not relevant to JDK 8. See also how to [use (Rel)-[wnf]{.jbs-label} Label when a bug won't be fixed in a release](#use-rel-wnf-label-when-a-bug-wont-be-fixed-in-a-release).

"the 9-na label implies all following releases therefore 11-na, or 17-na etc. are not needed." reads a bit weird. Should there be a comma after "releases"? Or maybe even a period? Maybe the "are" should move? "Therefore are 11-na, or 17-na etc. not needed."
