I want to second what lapcat said. Apple promised to stop holding up bug fixes for rule violations, backtracked on some of that, and then just seemed to have given up on it entirely. Bugfix builds are routinely rejected, even now, and reviewers ignore you when you point out they shouldn't be.
After their initial announcement of the policy, Apple clarified that they would still reject bugfixes if the app violated section 5 of the guidelines, the section titled "Legal". On the surface, this would seem reasonable. After all, can't go violating legal requirements. However, this is still counter to the spirit of what they had promised. If it's up on the store already, if it's violating the law (e.g. for scamming users out of money), it should be taken down. If it's not violating the law, it's better that customers get the bugfix.
They also copied a bunch of rules from the other sections into section 5, to give themselves more leeway.
