That brings up another good point.  If I had a team of people and reasonable 
confidence that I could work quickly to resolve the problem then maybe that 
would be the right strategy.  But, as I have had difficulty finding time to 
progress this for quite a while now, and no confidence I could move quickly 
to support people having problems, I do not think it fair to release it until 
I have found and fixed the problem.

Finding time and resources is my problem -- but it underscores that the 
decision on whether particular bugs should prevent promotion or not is likely 
to be different for different applications and has to be largely under the 
control of the developer (subject to the basic quality controls we have 
already agreed on).
