Well, catching it after a long beta and then three rounds of release candidates. Indeed, it was apparently caught by an end user, and not those 10K eyes of developers at all.

I'm not sure what you're expecting or what you're disappointed about. It's not like closed source commercial software have any better track records.

  If we only measure ourselves (and our work) by the next best person, then only thing we can become is slightly better than them.

And that's the beauty of FLOSS. An end-user caught a problem that will, hopefully, be corrected in a couple days. Were it a problem within IE (or Oracle applications - let's be fair as this is not a Microsoft-only problem) we would have to wait until a developer reads the report, the bug being assigned and the correction being put in a future bug-fix release. In a way, a guy from Microsoft just made a huge point on how open-source is far superior to their own closed development cycle.
