Well, you can blame people for getting a little annoyed.
I've seen four types of responses on this bug:
  - complaining about the bug: not usefull
  - people playing the blame-game and dismissing importance and
reponsibility: you have no clue how much you are hurting Ubuntu's
reputation. See entries such as: "ubuntu' s NOT destoying
hard-drives", etc.
  - people trying to solve the issue (a.k.a heroes)

My two cents:
  - stop complaining about this bug, its not constructive
  - bug-watch admin should _acknowledge_ importance of the bug . Just
by turning priority to critical you are saying "we care". You are not
saying "its our fault". Half of the comments here are about the
priority and the we-dont-care-message associated with wishlist
priority.
   - leave the blame-game discussion until the issue until fix-released

_Afterwards_, a inquiry on why the community interaction has failed
could be wise.
