If there are bugs that are known to be release blocking, why not mark
them ASAP?  If  they prove later to not be so important, they can be
unmarked.

Again, knowing what needs to be done provides an extra incentive for
people to do it.

Too bad that the number of people that can fix the most critical of bugs
(unicode) is so tiny...
