I can't talk about the concrete issue here, but let me say a general word about those other 74 ... Every bug fix has the potential of a regression. While we all try our best to avoid this, reality shows that a certain percentage of bug fixes causes a new bug. Because of this, there are restrictions on what kind (and how many) fixes we put into the "maintainance releases" such as 2.0.x. Those releases are expected to improve the product, not to decrease its quality. We simply do not want to take the risk associated with all the bug fixes we could have (and potentially, we *could* have much more than those 75, if we wanted to), at least not for 2.0.x.
