Really? This isn't how security works? Yeah, I guess I forgot security is a 100% binary thing. That's why you never read actual security bulletins advising you when vulnerabilities are actively being exploited in the wild. It's insane to think that should matter or raise the urgency of a patch. [1] [2]
