Right. For those reading this subject and not understanding.. this is:
1. A way to make everyone read it fast and act
2. A joke on some programs that consider every release their best
release (probably we say that as well). Every once in a while you
should have a terrible release.

I wanted to make a summary out of it, saying this and this bug has to
be fixed. Everything else can wait for next release. I'll probably do
a this-release-could've-been-better message.
