No matter which longitude the attitude comes from, the bug needs fixing, but more importantly, the bug should never have made into stable. This really should be an effort to shore up quality control, no blame attributed to anybody in particular. The result should be that a mistake is learned from, not ignored. Daniel says that it won't be ignored, so I am very happy with that response.
