For some of the outstanding problems, the blame lies with us, although I maintain that alerting us you were finalizing 2.2r1 a day in advance would have been perfectly reasonable! For some, though, fixes had only just become available. We told you (at least twelve hours before 2.2r1 actually went out, I think) that there was a security problem in bind and that a fix would be available within at most a day - which it was. You indicated at the time that you were willing to wait for it.
