If the bugs are in new functionality, I wouldn't see any issue with
leaving the improvements until the next release if necessary; but
I would have thought known regressions to behaviour which was working
properly in the previous stable release would be worth delaying the
new release to fix, if necessary.

I suppose I don't understand why there's any hurry to release 26.1.
