alt Hacker NewsI can't believe that any company takes a month to ship something. Even if they don't have CI, surely they'd prefer to break the app (maybe even completely) than risk all their legal documents exfiltrated.

It’d be pretty reasonable to take the whole API down in this scenario, and put it back up once it’s patched. They’d lose tons of cash but avoid being liable for extreme amounts of damages.

Outside of startups and big tech, it's not uncommon to have release cycles that are months long. Especially common if there is any legal or regulatory involvement.
