How about we omit them from the sponsor overview until that's sorted
out?  Might save sponsors some head scratching time (I know I wasted a
good half our or so trying to figure out what to do with these, before
realizing none were really in an easily sponsorable state.)

That'd help us focus on clearing out the remaining 50 or so.
