And when Microsoft do cut QA short people complain that Microsoft doesn't care about quality/is using retail as a beta test. It is really a no-win situation to be honest.

The correct way to do this is immediately release a bulletin to admins to block the affected service, then push a patch to disable it, then push a patch to fix and reenable it when they feel ready.

It's only unwinable because Microsoft refuses to take a PR/cash hit of telling people to stop using something while it's broken.
