I have a concrete example - bug 2222 - fortunately fixed before final R14.0.0. 
But imagine a situation that could not be fixed and now we should decide.

I dare say that is certainly, it is a fix for very crucial issue. At the same 
time, in my opinion, this is not a fix that should mean release R14.1.0. For 
such a fix I would suggest release R14.0.1. And that's just the situation 
that I had in mind - a situation where, in my opinion, is inappropriate to 
wait for the completion of the specified number of patches for release.
