Not really an option, no :P

I saw your msg on the bug report, but there's a reasonable chance that Frank 
didn't see it. 
That's another thing I don't like about buggenie and do like about Debian's BTS: 
when something changes in the report, you'll get automatic (email) notification. 
With buggenie, I check on a regular basis if another comment/msg has been posted 
to 'my' bug reports.
It's probably better to send the request (4.0.3a/4.0.3.1) to the owncloud and 
owncloud-packaging ML. 
And the new version should also be obvious in the download name/changelog, 
otherwise we/they get discussions on what 4.0.3 release we're talking about.

Couldn't agree more.

I also wonder how they test the software, it's not like this is an obscure bug 
caused by a 'weird' combination of settings/components. And this is not the first 
time that happened.
And the number of commits shortly after tagging/releasing 4.0.3 is worrysome:
https://gitorious.org/owncloud/owncloud/commits/stable4
The latest commit is tagged with 4.0.3a though.
