I think their options were 1) Let trials go on and piss off everybody as their flawless trial run ends with a squad of 3 hunters abusing the hell out of the bug. 2) Try to come up with a quick code fix and do very limited testing and push it out to everybody and hope you don't bust anything else. 3) Fix the bug and do proper testing and delay trials for maybe another week. The chose option #3 and it seems like the safest bet.
