Seriously?

Because it affects all machines with Intel onboard graphics, which I assume are
the majority by far in desktop computers.
And the bug leads to a stuck boot process which can only be resolved by a hard
power off and choosing an older kernel at boot time in GRUB (IF you have this
option activated... which might not be the case for everyone).

If there is a pain in the ass bug, that should be avoided to be shipped to the
majority of users, then it is this one.
