Okay that came out more aggressive or annoyed than I intended, I guess. Still though, I don't think it was helpful, classy or productive to quote numbers of mod users to put pressure on Paradox about a bug that already has their attention.
Fair enough, harassing people is never the goal. It's a little unnerving when a patch breaks things in a way modders can't fix, though. We've been running around trying to figure out what is wrong, if it was our code, and various other things, all the while dealing with that aforementioned large group of people who want the mod updated. Speaking for M&T we have a pretty pacient and nice group of people, but people get sad and worried.
While I agree that it's a serious bug; I would not say that it qualifies as a major bug. Major bugs are those which affect vanilla.
Serious vs major in bug definitions is little hard to tell the difference. Also, it probably is affecting vanilla, I got it to reproduce once on a vanilla game. It's probably not affecting vanilla as often. Mods (especially huge mods like M&T) tend to push the engine hard, revealing flaws that might only happen in exceptionally large or complex vanilla games.
