As said in the part of the mail you skipped:
Your RM reopened a similar (grave) bug I sent that covered a similar
issue.
Chris uploaded a new version of kdelibs 6 days after my bug report.
Why did he downgrade it instead of simply fixing the issue via a
conflict?
What about "stop playing pingpong with the severity" and fix it instead?

Imagine a new upload of apollon to unstable, a RC bug in apollon, or
many other reasons like apollon not being built on one architecture.

As explained above, this statement is wrong.
