You are right that 90% are either not new or not bugs, but they are
things that need correction, and no one benefits by just pushing them
off to a later release. As I said, if even 50% are things that need
work, they should be completed for 8.4 rather than added to the TODO
list. These are all things that have been reported during the 8.4
release cycle.
Are you saying we no longer care about fixing small issues? I think the
project quality will suffer.
