From my perspective there really were 3 issues that could be seen as release blockers (the build storm ones) and there were mitigations that could have been used to address the build storm issues, but due to Time Zone issues the decision was taken to pull all versions from the update centre without an opertunity to consult with me.
The other issues are not upgrade blockers but enough people have requested them that they are being addressed at the same time
Hopefully the releases will be available in the next few days. The SCM API changes are somewhat exceptional from the normal as we had to do something rare in the Jenkins community, intentionally break existing plugins - a result of the bitbucket and GitHub branch source plugins from making invalid assumptions about internal behaviour of SCM API.
Additionally, these invalid assumptions could result in builds reporting as building one revision while actually building another revision (mostly affecting PR-merge builds where the PR has had its target branch changed after initial index)
So we had to fix the issues but that requires a coordinated release of many plugins.
Once 2.0.x is out, it should all be much more stable going forward and we have guidelines for plugin authors to prevent this kind of issue recurring
