is it just meor is it sad that the arduino team did not implement the one line fix
No software is perfect when it is released. As far as I know recent versions fix known bugs. Known at the time, that is. There is always going to be some lag between when a bug is discovered and when it is fixed. First the bug needs to be confirmed. Then a fix devised. Then the fix tested to make sure it doesn't introduce other, unexpected, side-effects. Then the fixed software is rolled out to the production line that is making the gadgets in the first place.
