User Assistance:
- Updated the help preference page
- Improved the appearance of the related
topics section

Topics:

1) Bugzilla maintenance without mail-bombing:
        -
are some components planning to do this?
         
      if so, we should
         
      - announce those changes on eclipse-dev
         
      - not "cheat", e.g. mark bugs as
resolved or verified without actually doing the job
