I had a similar experience back with I think 6.10, and should have learned my lesson, it takes a couple of weeks for the odds and ends to get patched due to the limited variety of test machines. Since nothing major is broken I think I'll wait it out for the patches although the above described revert would work. I'll post when it's seems to all be fixed.
