I don't think auto populating it from JIRA would be useful - at any one
time, there may be lots of minor known bugs. But if they weren't largely
inconsequential, you would think we would choose to postpone a new release
until they are fixed.

Of course, there may be exceptions to that, but then if we were releasing
with a known significant issue (ie. this definitely doesn't work on Oracle,
or with JDK 7, etc.), then that's the time we would want to put it in
KNOWN_BUGS - but we wouldn't want that drowned by all the inconsequential
issues.

My vote would be to keep it, but mostly empty apart from significant
(compatibility) issues that we need to draw attention to, and a link to JIRA
for all the bugs marked as affecting that release (which has the benefit of
being up to date with any bugs found after the release).
