I'm not sure anyone in the project has enough of an overview to say, but
my personal feeling is that 3) is the most important - that specific one
was a cited example in my GUADEC talk about regressions.  I'd say it's a
blocker for removing fallback.

People are working around 2) already:

Certainly far from ideal - this kind of mode could be polished up a bit,
but maybe not a blocker.

For 4) I have no data on who's using XDMCP.  git log --grep=XDMCP in
gdm shows some active maintenance there though.  So we'd have to have
some story for this too probably.
