Sure.
Only I'd do it during the release phase, after feature freeze,
and most importantly with a _team_ discussion.

The case you mentioned [1] was downgraded after a couple of days of
discussion, both on IRC and on the tracker itself.
See comments #24 and #25, then check history at the bottom

Mind you: we fixed 30 blockers or more, during the month from rc1 to final.
Doesn't look like they were too complicated to deal with does it ?
