I don't care to start a flamewar over this.
Yes, it shipped with some problems. It's not the first time, and I'm sure
its not the last. Linux development in general runs at breakneck speed,
and there are always imperfectections. There is always stuff that no matter
what you do, makes it out the door.
Service packs are an interesting notion. This has been debated internally.
Currently, fixes and updates are turned out by devel as soon as the
individual package is fixed. Announcements are made on the
redhat-announce-list, are put up on the support website asap, and put on
the main ftp server.
Would rather have a monolithic blob of patches released as soon as its
ready, or individual packages that address specific problems that are
released as soon as they are fixed? I personally opt for the latter.
I seriously doubt that there is a single software package out there that
has shipped 100% bug free. There is *always* something.
