That's hardly answerable when you haven't specified how long you
think it'd take to fix.

In general, though, I'm going to be exceedingly unhappy if this release
introduces new regressions. If we have to put off the release to fix
something, maybe we'd better do so. And we'd damn well better get it
right this time.
