That's meaningless. We've had a new "latest" every day for the last several years with the bug(s) that were just recently fixed.
It takes effort for people to update their VM and test it. No one can do that every single day.
It's a given that any candidate is not "necessarily" the final, if a major bug is found, that's why it's called a "candidate"...
I was just looking for some guidance from the VM developers in order to try to support the release... If this is for sure not going to be the final, then I won't bother to upgrade all my VM's and test all my apps.
Thanks.

Hi folks,
Since this was buried at the end of a 20 message thread, I just wanted to confirm and bring Fabio's link to the surface where everyone can actually see it. This 201807260206 is the final release canddiate I should be testing with, yes?
It's clearly the latest, but not necessarily the final.

Ok, all new bundles now come with new VMs (201807260206) which include Eliot's fix:

Hello Fabio
Thank you for the effort of packaging a most recent VM.
Execution of
Installer ensureRecentMetacello "(Ubuntu 14.04 based Linux)"
in a Workspace no longer leads to a crash. Screen shot of the result with details attached.
