It's not game-breaking. Look how long it took the community to figure this out--and there are some rather intelligent people here. We played it before we knew of this, we'll play it afterwards. Does this issue need to be fixed? Yep. Does it need to be rushed in a hot-fix patch that breaks other stuff? Nope. This bug simply, for the moment, explains why a lot of goofy things went on regarding unit stats and fighting ability, and in due time it will be fixed. Relax, don't do it...(forget the next line of lyrics)...
