So what do I misunderstand? As far as I read it, Damien said all should get the
fix at the same time, right? Which is what you say and also what Dave said,
isn't it? I think the question we're dancing around here is, should anyone be
allowed to deploy before the embargo is over? I don't mind DBaaS providers
getting the fix early, but I mind seeing it deployed early.
