i think they should be included, but perhaps abbreviated [into 1-2
lines] so that they do not hold us up.

We must not whitewash our bug statistics by intentionally excluding the
harm that bin-only modules do to our users - but we can make them less
visually intrusive, so that we can work on fixing the bugs we can fix.

Perhaps make sure it's top 10 of _our_ bugs, with the bin-only data
mixed in as well (in a visually unintrusive way) to make the picture
complete. I.e. list 20 bugs if 10 of them are bin-only modules.
