    From what I’ve heard, it’s to give companies time to prep for downtime to patch. If they just released the fix now, companies would have to scramble to deal with unexpected downtime.

    I believe package maintainers have also been given the fix early to prepare it for release. That means there’s no waiting for Ubuntu or whoever to have the update available.
