Yes. I don't think anyone would contend that it's not bad for this to have landed in a stable release, but in fairness, that stable release was about 3 weeks old and ZoL is not yet 1.0. Mistakes like this are unfortunate but they do happen, and that's why many people wait several months before they incorporate new versions.

From the bug report, sounds like ZoL is integrating some new tests, learning how to retrieve orphaned files, and possibly strengthening its hashing mechanisms, so overall this will strengthen ZFS's robustness. Little consolation for those with damaged filesystems, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
