... and also has security issues.  We're not going to release a new
installer that defaults to a known-vulnerable kernel.

There will be a 6.06.2 at some point, and I assume this bug will be
fixed before it's released.  It's unfortunate this made it on the latest
ISOs, but making a huge stink about it on the lists probably isn't going
to make it magically change overnight.
