Just out of curiosity, how would one know about troubles with 1.2.1 that weren't posted to the list?
People asking for help regarding SLIME (usually with SBCL, whose recent versions won't work with 1.2.1) in #lisp @ irc.freenode.net. Happens quite often.
This problem is caused by #lisp constantly recommending SBCL to brand new wet-behind-the-ears lispers. This is like taking someone who has walked in the door, curious about pilot training, and putting them in the pilots seat of a 777, fully loaded and on a takeoff run. The results are predictable, but #lisp doesn't care.
Using this situation as justification for controlling slime releases is ludicrous.
