Let's avoid lionizing/denigrating here.
They're using static initialization and it bit them in the ass again. They should stop using it because it is prone to things like this which result in apps not launching at all. I'd like to see them commit to stop using this method to initialize themselves, and take responsibility for the crashes. Then, IMO, we'd be good.
In a scenario like this, I'd hope they'd want to make this bug's recurrence impossible.
