(About heads up to distros)
> Nope, sorry, we are NOT allowed to notify anyone about anything "ahead
of time" otherwise we will have to tell everyone about everything.
That's the only policy by which all the legal/governmental agencies
have agreed to allow us to operate in, so we are stuck with it.

- bonzini 5mo agoI don't know, this is the one that I mentioned: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/03/30/5 https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/03/30/5 You can see my name under "Timeline", I asked kindly for both distros-list and a longer embargo than usual and got them. I guess Greg is not allowed to notify distros-list, but someone else is?
