Winnowing the 1.0 bug list

We now have about 100 bugs nominated for fixing in 1.0.
Thanks to everybody who nominated bugs.

Now it's time to winnow the list a bit.  1.0 bugs should
be 'important' somehow, easy to reproduce, and
have some chance of actually being fixed by, say, summer.
The better understood a bug is, the more likely it is
it can be fixed for 1.0, so even less important bugs
can be 1.0 bugs if they're well enough understood and
a patch is available.

Here are a few bugs I'm thinking of deferring, and why:

Not important enough
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5807 Mercora IMRadio crashes
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6048 Stokes crashes
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8687 everestpoker and
Programmer's Editor don't work
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9288 Armed Assault doesn't load web page
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9895 Alzip crashes

Probably not doable by summer
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609 Add BiDi support

Not well enough understood:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6383 Dual-core not being
correctly supported

Do people agree with those assessments, and are there other
bugs nominated for 1.0 that don't quite deserve it?
