> As for OS X release, I'm sure they released it as fast as they could. It has nothing to do with releasing along with FaceTime integration, and everything to do with 10.9.2. was already going through the GM process, and it was faster/easier to add this fix into that and continue trying to validate the GM than it was to spin up an entirely new train for a 10.9.1.1 with just this fix and try to validate that.
If this is true, then their process could use some adjustment. Contrast with Google Chrome which has the regular motion of changes going through channels, but the ability to update virtually all clients within a matter of hours if a critical issue is found.
(I realize there is a lot more QA necessary for an OS update, but I'm not convinced that a fix for this specific bug would have taken a long time to QA. Certainly not anywhere near as long as we've waited for this update, or as long as a lot of people will delay installing it because it is huge.)
