I'm wondering if anyone has any guidelines they use to decide what goes
into the Troubleshooting section of a guide and what is more appropriate in
the known issues/limitations section of a release note.

At the moment, I'm working on the theory of 'if it only happens
sometimes/on some devices/on some configurations, it goes in
Troubleshooting' and 'if it always happens whatever you do or whatever
you're using, it goes in the release note'.

Anyone got any better ideas?
