I meant that a vendor not acknowledging a problem doesn't mean that the problem isn't there. In Apple's case it was hard to deny it consider it had struck a significant number of users. In Google's case they don't seem to care much, possibly because the actual user-base of Nexus devices upgrading to Lollipop is a lot smaller than Apple's and besides most other Android users will be at the mercy of their vendors anyway.

I did the upgrade using the OTA image; I'm now considering of flashing the factory image in the hope it fixes my problems.
