Microsoft does a decent job documenting their bugs. KB articles at MSDN
usually contain fair amount of details and impact assessments. A line
in the changelog doesn't really cut it when you need to convince the
technically-challenged higher-ups that it isn't your fault that
something bad happened.
The problems with 5.1.3 underscores what I said about the lack of
quality control. Regressions that serious (and easy to detect) should
never have been allowed to slip through. QA is a tidious job of course.
You have to pay people to do it.
