am I right that the bug is also in 7.8, i.e. it is not a regression? In that case, on its own, it is not a good reason to delay the release if we want to release. (There were releases while we knew about the GND unsoundness bug.) But if it looks like there is a big benefit from having a release a bit later, such as a not-too-ugly work-around or even a fix, then of course we _can_ delay it. Personally, I’m not urgently waiting for this release – Debian is too much behind anyways :-) How well would a work-around or fix fit in a 7.8.2 release? Will the fix practically affect what code compiles and what code does not? If the fix would not break reasonable code, then it might be better aimed for 7.8.2.
