Well, it's fairly harsh if the feature isn't working as advertised.

It's less than ideal, I agree, but it doesn't seem better to me to just 
leave the bug unfixed for another minor release. Even if we sit on this 
for another few months, I don't think we'll get any meaningful amount of 
extra testing on it.
