That's not true, many boot problems are found quite early in the
process by rawhide users, but rawhide users feedback is not taken into
account by installer folks because they don't look at boot problems
before quite late in the cycle, when rawhide users have already moved
on manually, and the default solution is always to reinstall from
scratch.

So problems are found, just not fixed


About this specific bug...

We found this bug before releasing, but it is not a release blocking bug
(the upgrade criteria just cover clean n and n-1 upgrading to n+1 and this
bug just happens whith continously upgraded systems since fc21 or lower) so
QA folks talked with bootloader ones, it was a difficult bug to fix without
breaking things/overwriting other bootloaders and there was no time to
announce, discuss and decide about policy changes so we went ahead
documenting it on common bugs.
