Oh, so its "gloves of" time again. Ok...

The main issue as I see it is that we were plain _WRONG_ to start
working on this issue 1 week before scheduled tagging. A big technical
investigation like this should lie at the very beginning of one of the
release cycles with plenty of time for testing and fixes. I tried to
do one quick fix which showed some promise (on some systems...) but
obviously had many serious issues still. The correct thing to do then
would have been to just revert that and leave it for the next release.
Not perfect, but at least it would not introduce more issue than what
was already there for 2.2.0. This is also why I sent you this as a
patch to look at and did not push it to master.

Maybe its not rocket science but it sure as hell is a lot of tedious
work that some people seem to severely undervalue. Sometimes I am
amazed that Lydia has stuck around with all the crap that you throw at
her. As for getting anew release manager, I don't think anyone in the
team could do a better job than what Lydia is consistently doing and a
few who would get a definite vote of no confidence for this position
from me.
