I am aware of no such conclusion. Nobody filed a critical bug about it.

The release was announced 6 weeks ago and Rex has been frozen for 4 weeks.
If the problem could not be solved in that amount of time, it will not
be fixed in the near future.
Possible options:
- Remove Xt from Rex
- Replace Xt in Rex with the one from Buzz
- Provide info about this problem, suggest upgrading from Bo
- Release as is, incroporate patch into Rex-fixed when available
I suggest the last, if it is important enough.
No release will ever be perfect. There will always be "one more thing"
that should be done. I cannot see how this problem is any more serious
that people still having problems such as gzip/compress links because the
last release was so long ago.
