No rush. But what a great way to encourage users/testers.
Think about it:
Finding oneself with an unbootable system after a grub update
and not seeing this fixed rapidly is a pretty strong motivation
for one to drop the kfreebsd project all together.
Coming across bugs in Debian unstable is to be expected. After all,
it is called "unstable". But getting an unbootable system is
pretty discouraging, you must admit.
