Been a rough few weeks to be a linux sysadmin, I tell ya
Our hosting company has it rough too, constant barrage of emails that this or that node will be down due to updates.
What if this is the new normal? I reckon newer models won’t suddenly stop discovering flaws, right?

My (non-expert) impression is that what has been recently discovered is a particular category of flaws that had until now not been considered, and that’s why we’re seeing such a surge in found vulnerabilities: everyone and their grandmother is fishing across Linux subsystems for the novel pattern. The optimistic outlook is that there will be a saturation point where nearly all flaws matching this pattern have been found, and the incidence of new reports slows to a trickle.
