Yep, there's a difference.  3k is things that we do actually think we'll do in 3k.
Future represents issues which are effectively intractable right now - it's kind
of a mix between "Won't Fix" (yeah, that's a problem, but it doesn't really seem
to matter), "Can't Fix" (it's simply impossible - maybe just right now, maybe forever) 
or "Crazy Hard To Fix" (maybe if we re-write the CLR or something we could fix 
this).

In general we would put bugs there so that A) We didn't have to consider them all
of the time but B) people could continue to vote on them and/or if a solution became
available we could implement.
