It seems to be a major one.  If nothing else, without it we could 
migrate a subset of bugs which happen to migrate cleanly, and then come 
back and handle the ones with issues at a arbitrarily later point.  Or 
we could simply close creation of *new* bugzilla bugs, and start all new 
traffic on github without waiting for a migration at all.  The whole 
reason we're not doing that (seems to be) is that we want to preserve 
the low bug numbers for 1-to-1 correspondence purposes.
