Thanks for putting this together, Sam. If we have time, we'll pull discussion of this into the next triage / release planning meeting (we have those on Tuesday now). We'll get these closed or prioritized eventually!

@smikes Thanks for this list. Most have been closed or tagged for the proper follow up.
