> because we have recently observed multiple cases of rapid bug rediscovery by AI agents, sometimes within hours, and so now consider long embargo periods to be a dangerous practice that primarily benefits attackers.

I think this is a long held belief of the project and why they have been excluded from bug embargo’s in the past.
