I've done that for most of them as we'll not be able to fix them
before 4.1.0 and there were mostly also moved from the 4.0 blocker bug,
to the 4.1 blocker bug at 4.0.0 time.

For the patches for https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8929
(correct "servicePrincipalName" handling)
I just need the permission from Andrew and Matthias to add their
sign-off to the patches. I already reviewed them, but I'd like to get
an ack from Simo.
See
https://gitweb.samba.org/?p=metze/samba/wip.git;a=commitdiff;h=780f108588616b

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8487 (We should not allow the
modification of systemOnly attributes)
has a patches that needs verification
and maybe a bit more work. We may be able to move this to 4.2 if it
requires a lot of work.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9974 (smb2 client support)
needs to be pushed to v4-1-test.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9654 (pwdLastSet broken
(allowing passwords that never expire) )
doesn't look to hard to fix,
but we may be able to move this to 4.2 if it requires a more of work.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10008 (dbwrap_ctdb broken for
deleted records in 4.1)
and
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10107 (winbind on DC with
trusted AD domains crashes)
were fixed in master today and just need to go through bugzilla into
v4-1-test.

I've added https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030
( ::1 added to nameserver on join) and I'm working with Björn Jacke on
the fix.

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8077 (userParameters needs to
be stored as utf8)
is a real bad bug, I'd wait till the last minute before deferring it,
but it'll require a lot of work to fix this :-(
