Jordan's comments are dead on - yes, there was a mistake, but it was
fixed (hopefully), and the turnaround time was very fast. I don't think
you'll see this kind of attention anywhere else - even in the linux
community. 

As it stands, it should be a common-sense assumption that if you're an
early adopter, you're taking on risks. I wouldn't even consider updating
a "mission-critical" box without a CD version in hand, and perhaps you
should take this approach as well.
