I can see a case for excluding these two third-party updates using the same reasoning.

I decided to remove these two bugs. In addition to avoiding confusion, listing those two releases, which have publishes CVEs logged against them, will leave a mistaken impression that JavaFX is vulnerable to the bugs associated with those two older versions.
To address the filtering issues I defined two new labels: `javafx-rn-exclude` and `javafx-rn-include`, which can be applied to bugs and are used to filter in the same way that the `noreg-*` labels already are. The filter now has no manual list of bugs to include or exclude.
