True, but at the same time; it is an error that impacts on a HUGE number of users. Not just one or two people. How can one adequately test the release if the buid is so badly broken? sure, I don't expect perfection but at the same time, if there are know issues that are regressions that stop people from installing SXCE, then there are issues.
