Your mention of the timing of the bug submission vs fixes landing seemed to 
be one focus of your previous comment.

If you're arguing this should be considered a release blocker, I would 
(largely) humbly disagree.  IMO, in general, Release blockers are for

subsequent updates.

I think this is a good candidate for freeze exception though.
