15.8.2 isn't released, but the 15.8.2 release candidate clearly is. I don't think think it's that crazy for people to be at least somewhat concerned that a fairly common important library got broken a bugfix release to a maintenance update that came out a month ago for a major version that came out two years ago without anyone internal testing it before publishing the RC.

That’s how release candidates work.
The headline could have included RC to make it accurate. As submitted it’s pretty misleading.
They used to make these beta versions private so only ios/macos developers could test on them to report bugs to get them fixed before public release. They since opened it up to anyone who wants to install it which generates a lot of outrage from the peanut gallery when the beta has bugs.
