Why they did not apply this same hot fix to 1.0 stable is baffling.

 

Because what you propose is not the way software development is usually done. Any bug fix can introduce new bugs, sometimes worse bugs than the one they try to fix. This is why every fix is, if at all possible, tested first in a less widely distributed experimental before it is opened to everyone.

 

Also, a developer NEVER EVER makes two different software versions have the same version number. So even if that hot fix were tiny the new version would have gotten a name like 1.1 (as TFP seems not to use multiple minor numbers, i.e. as in 1.0.1)
