It seems to be a huge deal if it leads to the kernel folks both breaking the embargo and getting patches out later than they could have.



Only if you think either of those things are a huge deal either, which I don't.


Breaking embargoes generally leads to easy, packaged exploits appearing that many days earlier than they otherwise would have. Obviously patches being delayed gets you on the other end. How are either of those not a huge deal? Do you just think it's not important to have patched systems against published vulnerabilities?
