It is not a problem for "everybody". 

Whether NM fails or continues to work is configuration dependent. In this
case, the very limited testing has been entirely insufficient. Fedora will
need to find ways how to improve in this area. It should not be possible
for so few people to rush out a critical path update.

My primary machine is not affected either, for example, but if I had been
given a chance to try out the NM update while it was sitting in
updates-testing for just four hours, I would not have given it a +1 in
bodhi because the update touches more features than what I would have
tested.

No comment on removing released so-called "stable" packages from a repo,
since I think it would be fruitless to discuss that on this list.
