Do you consider these essential or is that outdated? Personally I think #808 should definitely be fixed, unless we plan to do the next release in a shorter timespan than a year. #723 sounds serious as well, and I think #800 can be fixed too; we've already pinpointed where it fails. #816 isn't very critical but it sounds like it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
