You have to be kidding me.
Does anyone test this stuff? Or do the developers just do a build and declare it ready to ship?
Is there even a QA engineer (all I'm asking for is one) dedicated to writing an automated testing matrix for these tools that we rely on?
I'm sorry, I'm just baffled that there aren't people in place to make sure things like this don't make it into a shipping product - and that critical items like this are still in the shipping product 4 months after the OS was released to manufacturing.
I've looked on the Apple OpenSource site to see if there is an open source version of SIPS from any previous OS that would work, but I don't see one.
Is it possible to take one from 10.6.8, 10.7.x, or 10.8 and replace the version of sips in /usr/bin with an older one, reboot and test if it works as expected or not?
Ugh.
