Well, I think at a minimum the first two of these need to go into a
section that is not called "code": the first is just a decision we
might change our mind about, and the second is a communication issue,
not a code issue.  I'd argue that the third one is probably not
something we're going to hold up the release for, either, and
therefore while it might belong on a list of known open bugs it
doesn't really belong on a list of 9.0 open items.
