Neil Conway shares a "tale in two acts": a chart of CVE fixes per release shows a long-term baseline of 400–600 jumping from 7.0 onward and spiking to 2,300 at 7.2, while a second chart shows newly created CVEs per release collapsing from a historical 200–500 to nearly zero. Together the curves suggest a disruption or backlog-clearing event in the CVE numbering/reporting pipeline.
