I got burned by this mistake also on a machine. And now it is fixed in -current, so I am happy. I run a bit of release, but not much. That said, I want to speak about the reality of making errata. It involves about 6 people. If our schedules align, we can push an errata out in an hour, but usually it gets done over 2-3 days. It is a bunch of steps which need to be done very carefully. Each errata is probably an accumulated time of 4 manhours. We started doing this for critical security bugs and crashing bugs which affect everyone. I'm sorry. We cannot do this for driver bugs which affect the fringe. Doing so would destroy the cadence of -current development for those 6 people.
