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.
