I second Torsten. Even though I had a lot of trouble over the font bug, I'd
argue it was more of a problem on my side as I didn't adapt
appropriately... after all we still have available all versions of the
release.
As long as the core devs are ok with the amount of change, I don't see a
problem. And if you want to live on the `bleedingEdge`, well then also read
the first part of the word. :)

So as long as people who create the stuff actually manage it, I'm happy
with the bumpy ride because the result is that more amazing.
