@All: I think that we all should try to cool down on this bug. It's a serious one, developers are on it, it's not easy to fix and it's impossible to revert to old system (unfortunately).
The SRUs are trying to fix it in a incremental manner; I think that all these changes of tag come from not having clear the procedure for a partial fix. There are two way of seeing it:
1) the partial fix should be tagged with verification-done, and after the final acceptance of the SRU in -updates, the bug has to be reopened (switch from Fix released to New) for the rest of problems, given that the partial fix do not solve completely the bug.
2) the bug has to be marked verification-done only if all the problems are fixed.
@Sebastien, could you please advise (or share a link) on how such a complex bug should be managed? Thanks.
