This is an immediate crash for selecting a menu entry in the default
view (which means killing a VM accidentally), we know the patch to fix
it, and it is really small. Why would we not merge something like this?
Are we making intentionally shitty releases these days?

I don't know your hotplug problem, but if it's a crash that isn't a
real corner case, that suggests that it should have been fixed. I mean,
fixing bugs is exactly what the freeze is for.
