A little feedback on why this happens. Every time you commit to a web
browser engine, nation states scrutinize the commit looking for
vulnerabilities that can be abused to hack users: both new
vulnerabilities introduced in the commit, and also any vulnerabilities
fixed in the commit. So it's unfortunately become important to minimize
the amount of time between when the fix hits open source vs. when it
reaches users. We've been struggling with this problem over in WebKit
because we've historically been too transparent with security-relevant
commits.
