From the bug log it didn't look like there were any unreasonable delays - it took a little while before the bug made it to the package where a fix was needed.
There was indeed no unreasonable delay in the handling of the bug report. It was however unresonable to expect the maintainers to handle the bug in such a timely manner that there also would be time left for public discussion in case such was needed.
I would have been trolling if I had posted to debian-release with "Stop sarge release now!". But I didn't. I wrote here, to see if, given the circumstances, people in general felt the issue was important enough to warrant taking it further more prompt than the *resonable* speed of the bug report. But I am sorry for being offensive like that; I suppose when one is unsure in a time-critical relase-related issue, not posting anything at all is more proper procedure than asking for opinions on debian-project. I'll try to remember that next time.
