Many of these *aren't* fixed in the current release, though. They're feature
requests that were rejected or ignored, non-reproducable one-time-glitches,
various misunderstandings of the way things work, and yep, actual bugs that
got dropped on the floor and aren't going to get addressed in reality.

I think DEFERRED is the best option (given the description in bugzilla)
given the mix of bugs -- many of them *are* actually gonna be real issues.

The other alternative that makes sense is WONTFIX.
