How did the suicidal Generals get past the testers?

[Bob the Insane]

Speaking as the "voice of reason"tm

It is entirely possible that the issue was picked up but there was insufficient time before release to resolve it and it not have been seen as serious enough an issue to delay the release... If this is the case we may see a change in the up coming patch...

Working in a software company myself I see the developers having to prioritise their work on the run up to a release, and if your work list included a number of CTD errors and serious incompatabilities then "overly aggressive generals" might drop down the work list a bit...
