Personally, I'd put this down to bad luck. Bugs are bugs and you don't know 
they're there until you notice them. I don't think there was anything that could 
have reasonably been done to prevent this.

That said, can we see if we can actually get 2.6.1 out within a week (OK, lets 
be sane and say month ;-).

This is open source, lets release early and often...

cheers,
