The answer above doesn't specifically answer what I would like to know -

1. The stated reason is "so that people can see what bugs are known when
they are reporting bugs". This is what we have bugzilla for. Plasma has
over 100 bugs.
2. If, you think these bugs deserve mention because they are marked as
critical - Is it our policy to be highlighting 'critical' bugs in the
errata? Yes / No.
