There are two schools of thought, one would be to file PRs for all of
them, and xfail them all. We can then track status, like is this a
regression, or is it important to fix before the next release in the
PR. I think that is the direction in which we are moving. In the
past, we'd only do that (if we did it at all) for things that have
always not worked, and leave the regressions as failures, with the idea
that the unexpected things should be fixed before the next release.
