Since important dates are considered a utility instead of a part of Firefox suggest, they should probably work in PBM and we should fix this soon.

Currently, they don't work because they are implemented as a suggest feature and suggest is inactive in PBM, so we need to add an exception.

Triaging unassigned S2s -- I think this doesn't need to be a P2 since this isn't critical functionality.
