No, but both the seriousness of the bug AND the simplicity of the fix sit squarely outside any sort
of "critical" definition.
The bug simply has the unfortunate connotation of being associated with arrays, but is not -
it's only about count()ing symbol tables. The fix itself is very localized too and was peer
reviewed, so I don't feel as if we'd be living on the edge of we'd be releasing
without an extra RC.
My main concern is that of we're treating this issue as a semi blocker - it's almost
unthinkable we won't find something of similar (small) magnitude in the next seven days.
That's my only concern with releasing next week,m. Would people here again demand to delay,
even if the impact is very limited - as is the case with this count() issue? If it wasn't for
that concern, I'd probably be in favor of delaying.
