Indeed, and you'll note neither Martin Pool nor I have disagreed and
changed the importance field.

For users of released bzr's they have been broken for 4 days, and only
by this bug. bzr 1.14 is the first bzr to suffer streaming issues with
stacked branches, and it was released May 1st.

For folk running *beta releases or trunk*, yes. But people use that to
help us find issues, and should know how to drop back to a released
version.

We're working hard to fix the issues, and as I note, users using
released bzr's have the bugfix for the ACF bug (which 1.13 doesn't
suffer, as it doesn't stream from stacked branches, and *all* bzr's
before 1.13.2 create the situation for it, if you want to measure by
that standard,measure since 1.6).
