What did you mean about their strictness? Does Ubuntu not push out fixes for critical problems like this except at certain times?

I mean they rather strictly hold on to the release schedule [1]: ready or not, you can count on .04 version to come by the end of April, rather than in May. I'd prefer that they didn't release with such glaring bugs as I mentioned, even if a bit late.
