> Considering one of those releases was a full rewrite (...)

I'm not sure you're you're being serious. It feels you're desperately trying to be disingenuous to avoid addressing the elephant in the room.

Listen: this discussion is on how Bun's release cycle stalled due to the rewrite and after the rewrite.

I repeat: Bun 1.4 was released way back in August. Since the rewrite the project barely managed to release two patch releases,and one of them is a hotfix mere hours after the first patch release. Being able to put together at best two patch releases in two months, specially after a major rewrite that is renowned for failing to follow idiomatic Rust practices and in spite of a bottomless AI budget and a militant attitude towards AI, is a colossal red flag. There is no way around it.
