   Did you write individual and factual bugzilla reports for each of your   
   issues? Unless you do, nothing will be done to solve them.   
      
      
   My recommendation would be to dedicate another partition in the same   
   computer to install the new release, test it, ask (in the mail list),   
   and report.   
      
   Meanwhile, you keep your older install intact and working on its own   
   partition.
