I disagree - the reason they had to resort to a workaround instead of applying the actual patch was because there wasn't enough time in their schedule to rebuild the kernel and installer between RC and release. In other words, the Ubuntu schedule made it impossible to fix any show-stopping kernel issue directly if found once the RC is built, which is clearly an avoidable problem.
