Objective (from nnguyen's to do list)

Thanks for filing all the bugs Kohei.

Wil and I will take a look and see where we can fit them in. Q2 is devoted to marketplace, but Q3 looks to be a good place to tackle a lot of them.

Anything in-product, such as the discovery pane, will have much higher priority though.

Thanks for filing this.  Due to resource constraints we are closing bugs which we won't realistically be able to fix.  If you have a patch that applies to this bug please reopen.
