In fact, the data about which cases are more worth fixing come from the automatic conversion itself. Also, as the manual work will be done part by part, if the automatic conversion is after it, there will be rounds and rounds of history rewriting and force push. This is quite unfriendly to the reviewers.

In the client area, the 2nd place is `java.awt.Container`, and then we have `sun.font.SunFontManager`, `java.awt.Window`, and `java.awt.Toolkit` which are over 100KB, and other 25 classes over 10KB, and other 11 classes smaller than 10KB.

By converting JDK-8267432 to a bug, there is an extra benefit that we can fix it after RDP. So I'll convert it now.
