This is the same situation with Fedora. It is sometimes but not always the
case that Fedora package maintainers are aware of the embargoed issue
(either as part of RH work or through some other connection), but often
isn't. Generally, once the issue is public, RH maintainers work very quickly
to get the fix into Fedora Linux.
