    > On October 21st at 07:41 UTC, more than six hours before the coordinated release, Chainguard unilaterally broke the embargo and published built images containing the fix.

    This is incredibly damming of Chainguard. I struggle to see justification for this, even with the chaos approaching the coordinated release.

    Step 1: Ensure that docker images are available when the embargo is released. We're 2 hours in, and they still aren't available.

      Yep, all our efforts are now focused on working around that. It's pretty neat!

      Never using docker hub ever again

      today I learned that building your image from scratch is fundamental in cases like this. Luckily I came prepared thanks to Claude Code suggestion.

    > As a result of the leak and pre-announcement around 20:00 UTC, Calif, one of the security firms that had reported the issues mistakenly published a video.

    This is the most surprising part to me. It sounds like Calif saw the leaks, interpreted that as embargo being broken, and then raced to publish their marketing video? I'd have expected much better.

      This is EXACTLY how marketing/pr firms actually coordinate no matter what they SAY.

      This is not the dancing anime girl video, is it?

    What is the penalty of breaking the embargo? Not shipping patches anymore beforehand?

      It might make other projects reconsider sharing advanced patches with Chainguard.

    Sounds like a lot went wrong, the 2024 issue not being patched and then multiple parties leaking stuff before the scheduled release date.
