I suspect you underestimate the time and resources needed to
completely build X (on every architecture, mind you)
I can understand why Branden didn't immediately release -8. I can't
understand why he left the bugreport at normal -- I was about to file an
RC bug to keep it out of testing, but saw that a "normal" bug had already
been filed, and figured he'd do the sensible thing. Instead, it appears
he's been actively downgrading bugs on this topic, perhaps
(speculation :) ) spurred by annoyance at having dozens of users report
the same bug.
Ah, well. Mistakes happen..
