We're probably onto English not first language territory again but...

André, there is a bug.  You have been told which workarounds work for the bug.  
The rest of us are using the workarounds for now and the developers are 
working on finding a solution.  When they find a solution we shall have the 
patch and we shall not have the problem.  Until then we continue to use the 
workarounds.

That is the situation.  If it is not acceptable, don't accept it.  But either 
do something about it  yourself or don't.  There is no point in going on and 
on about it.  We note that you find it unacceptable.  So what then??

That is the situation.  Accept it or don't.  Those are the alternatives.
