[17:05:38] <vladimir-minenko> Are there some observations what was wrong so that it will be less probable to repeat in the future? 
[17:06:02] <carewolf> they have a fix, it is just taking time to integrate
[17:06:19] <jaheikki3> carewolf: well, at least in theory that shouldn't affect to alpha at all. Meaning if existing packages are good enough for the alpha
