It wasn't a critical bug, in the sense that because the i82365 driver did not work, it was not even offered as a config option. If anything it was merely a missing feature. And not a critical one, since the feature was available outside of the kernel.
It is a moot point, since i82365 works with the new patches.

Some of these have been resolved, but some remain. They have not been easy things to decipher since they involve interactions between the PCI subsystem, PCMCIA, and specific hardware.
