On a related note, some regressions introduced in OTA11 are really 
annoying – the Clock app opening whenever you have an alarm notification 
– or even critical. I'm thinking about bug #1579098 (1), which most of 
the times leaves you with no data connection at all (and suddenly your 
smartphone is not so smart). I know we all have our own definition of 
what is critical, but this one is really crippling.

There was a "hotfix" tag on this bug, is there a reason for deciding 
against it? From what Wayne says, there were quite a few other regressions…

Thanks!
