IMHO fixing a problem in the chip is not a critical point when it's a new
design and you're prototyping. Either you find a workaround or a different
chip. Issuing an errata is entirely acceptable for me.

However, what Russell described is infinitely more severe: introducing a new
problem on a mature chip. When you have a production line and suddenly find
out all new chips are unusable, what can you do? It's complete and utter
disregard for the customer.
