I said "it sounds...", not that it was from a throwaway account. The "nasty" bugs you referred were never a problem for me, and the way you wrote sounded sensationalist.
I'm glad to hear you didn't have trouble with those bugs. They actually prevented new packages from building in Debian and Fedora, due to our unit tests catching the bugs, and we had to do a double-release on one day to fix them -- quite stressful for us. Anyway, it's a nice thing you weren't directly affected.
