This particular bug involved remote code execution by visiting an email 
attachment. Any security hole this serious should be blocking. It doesn't matter 
that the bug has been around for a while, as the bug is known now and is likely 
to be exploited by anyone who cares to attack Emacs users. I'm surprised that 
there was controversy about this case, as the bug really should be fixed as soon 
as we reasonably can, or in any event before the next release.
