I have a feeling they are severely understaffed, don't have testing infra or any management support as it's all a crapshoot. These guys, at least in theory, should have access to all chips and testing equipment necessary a year before they even release and they barely seem to be able to test at all.
So how will we cope? Actually, the only coping mechanism to those that were forced to go into 5.5 already via their distro would've had to manually downgrade. That's not a coping mechanism available to most basic users.
