It's about time. First the iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issues and then the WatchOS battery drain complaints....

So what exactly does the pause mean - stop work on new code, focus on debugging / QA old code?

Leave it up to Bloomberg to leak an internal pipeline pause.

Such a bad outlet...

Rapid development or move fast and break things.

Bugs you can always fix it in the next release /s

Definitely - As an aside, that's pretty much why we didn't get a "Windows 2003 desktop" and only Windows XP SP2, it's because Jim Allchin at Microsoft insisted the whole NT6 code base had to be overhauled. That's also why Microsoft buried Longhorn and Vista broke everything to end up giving us Windows 7 (from a technical point of view, Vista was a beta release of Win7 - too bad for those early adopters).
So, Apple reached that stage too...

Windows ME must have been the whipping kid between Longhorn and Vista then.....it was TERRIBLE!

No - ME was the end of the line of the DOS kernel. It was overextended, cobbled together from too many code lines, and unable to run under its own weight.
