consider long embargo periods to be a dangerous practice that primarily
benefits attackers.
Seems quite reasonable. It’s quite obvious that black hats have day jobs as White hats and have been privy to embargoes for probably decades.
Embargo should last at most to the moment fix is made and code passes test suite.
Anything longer is putting systems at danger. I can recompile the package with a patch (even if Ubuntu/RHEL takes 3 weeks to do it) myself in a pinch, and I'd like to have a chance for it before the bug gets re-discovered by malicious party
