This makes sense, but there's a reason we chose 8.2.1 rather than 9.1
for many of those bugs, and we should try not to destroy that bit of
information during the move -- it could help us to prioritize which of
the "9.1" bugs to work on.  To keep track of this, we could do something
like adding a keyword to all current 8.2.1 bugs before we move them.

(Of course, ideally we'd actually triage all of these, and the other 9.1
bugs, into work items for 9.1 or beyond.)

Thanks,

- Chris.
