It's a bugfix, and bugfixes are allowed at and time - weighing regression risk against where we're at in the cycle. It was a very high severity bug, low regression risk for the fix, and we were at rc3.

I think you mean Wittgenstein, though I wouldn’t recommend Philosophical Investigations as an entrypoint.
