Just one: let's slow down a bit and try to write down the rules. Close to release or not, let's understand WTF happens in that part of VM before deciding on the choice of band-aids/fixes. Frankly, right now I don't feel that area - too many changes during the last month. So I'm going to sit down and read it through. IMO it's worth the delay - I have a gut feeling that band-aids are going to cost more.
