OK, sure.

It is useless if a program uses the library defaults directly and
doesn't give the user a way to configure the server manually. However I
think most programs have some kind of config dialog allowing the server
to be changed, or even override the default server to gnudb.org directly
(Asunder does this). So it's perhaps not that serious.
The VLC crash seems worse as there's no way to work around that. But
that bug isn't new (it was fixed 9 years ago in the vendored copy in
upstream VLC).

Perhaps it's best to just leave it until after the freeze?
