-1: if the fix breaks customers in other ways, they're screwed as well. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

It's a upstream targeted fix that was made available significantly faster in packages/images maintained by volunteers, it's not some untested downstream patch. Customers at this point would have likely taken their applications offline over this issue so it would have been difficult to make the situation any worse.

Nearly every other vendor has pushed fixes for it, including where they pull their upstream stuff from. There's no excuse.

		Any vendor that delivers updated packages without thorough regression testing that causes an incident for their customers as a result will get a thrashing from HNers. Hope is not a strategy.
