We need to distinguish among blockers and non-blockers in that list. E.g.,
"fails to run with perl 5.26" is a blocker, but "uses a deprecated feature" is
not. So don't add all the bugs as blockers, but adding some in that list (the
ones that will be RC when the transition starts) would make sense.

Yes please.
