For me I'd prioritize getting things into the core over other things
(and both fixes are small) but these are the ones you want to drop.  I'd
say the topology bugs are just straight up bugs, someone with the
ability to replace the topology file can readily trigger them (as could
disk corruption) and the null pointer dereference is definitely severe
enough that we should just fix it.

I guess we could try to drop all the resource leak fixes but several of
them are in with other patches in branches.

So how did they test that fix then...  bah.

I'm not insisting people add fixes tags for everything, that way lies
madness.
