Nothing special. Note "some customers".  Something likely
triggered some problem on a dodgy hardware.  You are not likely
to discover anything of that sort in a quite narrow circle
of people who bother to look at pre-release stuff. It may be
also rather hard to figure out what that may be if you do
not have an access to such configuration (likely an understatemnt
of the year).

Not as far as I can tell.  I am also running right now kernels
which on the top of that have patches for some further issues
and they too work fine everywhere where I tried.

In practice only releases will get a wider testing coverage
and a cure for possible problems is not extending ab infinium
a testing period, as this is not likely to show anything, but
get in a matter of small days next releases if something needs
to be corrected.
