Look: it's an acknowledged bug and it's fixed in current sources.
The disagreement is over whether this single bug is sufficient reason
to force issuance of a 7.2.2 release. Given that we are within a couple
of weeks of going beta for 7.3, the previous decision not to issue a
7.2.2 release will stand, unless something *much* worse than this pops
up.
Saying or implying that the developers don't care about data integrity
does not enhance your credibility.
