These are old bugs that nobody noticed because they're in code that the
tinderbox didn't use to build.  They're in releng branches, so fixing
them requires re@ and / or so@ approval.

No, it is more that the tinderbox for 8 wasn't actually checking these
kernels before (they have been broken since 8.1 and 8.2 were released) and 
they are on less-used platforms.  I do agree it needs to be cleaned up one way 
or another.  Given the reticence to commit changes to release branches, it is 
probably simpler to mask this via the tinderbox instead.

Shouldn't whoever asked for that to be enabled take responsibility for
cleaning them up then?

They're already broken. It's hard to see how fixing the problems could
make things worse. :)
