The imagined timeline of this comment doesn't seem to align with reality. The exclusion list was already present in the first WWDC builds in summer 2020, as the Little Snitch developers noticed: https://blog.obdev.at/a-hole-in-the-wall/ https://blog.obdev.at/a-hole-in-the-wall/
The Mac "OSCP appocalypse" occurred in November on the day that Big Sur was released to the public, with the exclusion list still present, and a number of firewall developers were already aware of the exclusion list and had reported bugs to Apple.
- wilg 6y agoI don't think the comment you're replying to made specific claims about this timeline.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoYou’re right, I didn’t. Thank you for saying so with much more clarity than I probably would have.
- _qulr 6y ago> This happened so quickly This was your claim. What is the justification for the claim? The comment seemed to imply that it was the OCSP problem. Otherwise, no other explanation was offered by the comment.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoIt happened quickly on the heels of the public release. The problem I cited was about how embarrassing a half assed solution could be, not about prompting a different response. Good engineers who boneheadedly cut corners are already tracking their omissions and FIXMEs. The fact that they shipped and quickly turned around a better solution reads to me like engineers doing their dang job. Edit: I just realized who I responded to and even if we don’t see it the same way I just want to say I appreciate your work and even your particular cynicism.
