Indeed but is not that true that Apple has a compatibility Lab with 
most models and configurations available? I would expect that Apple 
does extensive tests on those machines before releasing. Hence my 
question: how problems like the ones complained about - especially in 
Apple Discussions - do get unnoticed?
I tend to believe they did not appear on Apple test machine so what is 
making an OS update a failure for a sufficiently large spectrum of 
machines for Apple to pull it out? (homework not entirely done?!)
