Which was exactly why I did not pick up the last posted one. In general, I would not pick up a series when the author is aware of an issue to be fixed, and more importantly, when the author knows how to fix that issue. That way, I do not have to be as intimate with the issue-and-fix as the author and the reviewer, who came up with it in their exchange. That way we can avoid unnecessary mistakes, trying pick up the latest one and making an incorrect tweak that is different from what the author and the reviewer agreed to be the good way forward. It's a different story when that reviewer is me, of course---in that corner case, I should be just as familiar with the final issue as the author would be, so it may save time without risking mixups for me to add the final finishing touches myself.
