Yes, I agree. For me release patch considerations are always a trade-off between the following major arguments : - Is the issue quite serious and have a big impact. - Is there any workaround and it is acceptable (simple enough to apply for mitigating the issue for majority of cases with the biggest impact). - Is there a bug fix and it can be applied with a no/minimal risk to create more regressions. If the consideration (which is sort of subjective, as Ray put it) results into the following conclusion: - Issue is serious, has a big impact and needs to be handled ASAP. - No simple and/or acceptable workaround. - There is a simple and localized bug fix with a very minimal chance of new regressions. then these considerations create an initial justification for a patch release for me. Of course, each item can be broken into more specific details (crashes, security issues etc), which may need further consideration, but basic justifications for a patch release can be summarized in just a few major things.

It might be sort of subjective but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
