Yes - only fixes of regressions introduced by the same release are
allowed at the moment.

I totally understand your anger, but such rules are useful.  If
arbitrary fixes would be allowed at any point of the development cycle
the result would be worse than what we have now.  It's also a quite
common policy.  Yes, it sucks, but it is necessary nonetheless.

Michael.
