> Did you face any actual bugs or regressions?

This is a terrible argument; I didn't need to have had secrets exfiltrated before applying row-hammer mitigations. If rsync is the cornerstone of my backup strategy, and has been for years, I need to trust that on its correctness, and for it to not lose my data. If I wait until I "face any actual bugs or regressions" - that will be far too late.

Stability is another issue not discussed. If the error rate holds steady, but number of significant PRs merged per release goes up from 5 to 200, that would be huge net-negative for my use case.
