Yeah true, but that still doesn't excuse the lack of testing, especially in a package as complex a gdm (I've spent a lot of time updating it ot the latest gnome-shell version and integrating with systemd permissions etc, so I know it's a somewhat "temperamental" package that shouldn't be updated blindly). But perhaps Ray will send that email - the git tag for 3.2.1 is not even pushed yet so I figure we're very quick of the mark grabbing the tarballs here.
