Yes, and it's also very important to understand that issues that haven't
been fixed yet cannot properly be evaluated in terms of impact on other
parts of the OOo code (these possible "side effects" have long been an
important factor in deciding upon stoppers, but it seem that
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Showstopper ignores them).

I recently reported a trivial Find&Replace bug leading to OOo freeze,
and apparently a reason for Microsoft to bash OOo as you can read in
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=115528 but I can accept
that in the RC phase it's too risky to fix this. I only hope that, as
Mechtilde wrote, all these known crashes/freezes will get the due
attention by 3.3.1!
