This should get more recognition from the media. Especially as AMD are launching server and high-end CPUs with high core-counts (where I assume a large part of the market will be programmers), getting 120fps instead of 140fps in ${SOME_GAME} is irrelevant compared to unpredictable crashes during `make -j 16`.
Personally I would like to build a Ryzen (possibly ThreadRipper, depending on pricing) computer this year, but that is definitely on hold until this issue is fixed.
