In other words, it didn't hit any people running Stable distros, only users on Beta versions or rolling releases.
Sounds like an improvement - having beta builds for people to catch those before they arrive in a stable GNU distribution seems the ideal workflow at glance.
On top of that the number of such issues is tiny compared to language distros.
Distro packaging is not perfect, but it is much, much better.
