Strong release?

If you think it's a strong update you haven't seen the bug reports due to regressions.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gajim/+bug/291174

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-mount/+bug/293062

Each of these are problems that were introduced by the 8.10 release.
