Are these regression new in GIT, and not present in the latest release? I
remember Fedora composite having problems long ago, so if that's the same
thing it's not a regression from the last release.
If the Ubuntu GX bug also happens in the currently latest release, I would
humbly suggest to release with keeping these bugs (it's not a regression
then), fixing them ASAP after getting the new features out to the world,
and doing a follow-up minor version release with the bug fixes once they
are tracked down.
