Of course. It just isn't realistic to test every possible use case of Linux for every commit. But what matters is this bug got catched and fixed BEFORE the release.
You just dont get it, it shouldnt happen because it should be tested before getting merged. Its pure luck it got discovered, thatsnot good engineering practice.
Oh I get it fully. I just don't think it is realistic to expect that no bug will ever be committed to Linux. And the whole RC phase exists for a reason and that it to test and fix bugs before a release.
If you expect such reliability you shouldn't be using Linux, BSD, Windows or Mac OS. All of them are way too complex so that no bug ever get committed.
What the world *really* needs is a good Automatic Bicycle Sharpener.

It's not released, that's the point. It got fixed BEFORE 5.12 is released.

you understand that you can't test every possible case with every possible Linux commit, right?
