"and the non-big change in Monterey may augur for a faster passage on a less buggy version this time?" I also hoped … Now out of about 140 bug reports I've found only 3 fairly minor solved ones. And many testers are in these cases …
Between Catalina and big Sur, out of 50 reports more than 20 have been corrected... So Monterey won't be big Sur's Snow Leopard, unfortunately...
