The system is absurd, the text points this out in a mocking/ironic way.
If you want me to reword this in a dry formal way, i can submit such a patch?

If not, how do you suggest we move forward here ?
We can replace the GA by a system that is not vulnerable
We can treat the GA more as guidance and not a final authority
We can publish the issue and warn our users and leave it vulnerable
We can try to block every choice, and treat this like any "publish after 90day"
   security issue (ffmpeg community refuses to fix or publish)

will reply to the 2nd part seperately

thx
