Great work everybody. Some issues are lateral to the size and might of 
the list:

1. There was no plan in place for fixing these bugs vs. others; the 
process was rather chaotic, and at least one bug was fixed because one 
user took the time to email me a little novel complaining about it.

2. There is no projected date of release.

3. There is no plan going forward, e.g. what bugs will be fixed later.

4. A lot of the important tdpl bugs should have been filed, triaged, and 
fixed a long time ago.

5. There's no sense of the "length of the pipeline", i.e. how long it 
takes until a given bug is triaged.

Until recently there were enough big issues that it didn't really matter 
which were solved - all fruit was low hanging! But at this point we must 
get better organized.
