The community did do it's job, it reported the issue.  It's the developers job
to mark priority, assign, review and fix the bugs on a release.  Pestering the
developers really shouldn't be a job for the community.  Re-evaluation of bugs
is again the responsibility of the devels and priorities changed if needed. 
Nothing more then generating a list of outstanding bugs should be needed to
spot issues before release. Also for many people the bug wasn't discovered
simply because they could not even install the earlier Alpha's and RC's.  This
bug is the perfect example of why installation issues have to be addressed as
soon as possible.  Installer issues should be a #1 priority as if a person
cannot install the product they cannot test any further.
