Yeah, poor. How dare they go through their long established QA for something like this? How dare they do what literally every other company does.

Seriously, why do you think companies like Microsoft rather write workarounds to issues on their website instead of putting out a 2 line code fix for a given issue? Couldn't possibly be that their QA process would take so long that it is easier to just publish the work around, right?

Let me guess, Apple could not have done right by your standards. Had they just published a how-to in order to update bash by hand, you would bitch that this is insufficient. Had they published unstable versions of the fix (like your mentioned "other distros" did just so they could say they already have a fix) you would have piped up along the lines of "nice going publishing unstable fixes that probably introduce more leaks than they fix"
