Release critical bugs (RC) do stay in unstable, if they are found before 
the package automatically migrates to testing. Do you have some specific 
examples?

Currently, evolution is really a pain using. It craches every 20mn, on some systems it even won't start unless inside gdb otherwise segfault. I see more that 420 bugs with many as major. I agree these are not release critical but so many bugs is a big indicator. Also there are at least 2 bugs which are severity grave.

UML is crashing even on aptitude, and many other issues like gnome3 loosing characters or X server dieing frequently or hanging when not.
