Eh, I don’t at flatpak or snap unless I have no other choice, but i get why it would be annoying to have the delay.
That being said, I wouldn’t be concerned until almost a month. It’s a big update that’s going to need more debugging than usual. Makes sense to hold back for a bit.
Yah, if it gets handled, you won’t see it usually. You have to go looking. I’d have to Dick around on the web version to find the handled issues (no need on my part, so I don’t use it enough to remember), but it is there somewhere.
