I think it would be good to get rid of at least the "does delayed
bounces" before upload. For all the other issues, RC bugs are an
option. I also think that even in case we decide to allow qmail in
that still gives the ftp-team the chance to remove it for having
unhandled RC bugs for a too long time (that's in case the other issues
are not fixed).
