It’s worth noting that while folks were getting busy with 11 and 13, plenty of experts in the field were saying ~“yes, we do have viable exploits here, but we’re not sharing them at this time. This is a big deal.” And that the person who spun up 13 spun up a static html page at first and also misrepresented how vanilla the stack was.

We could have skipped from 7 to 19 if folks had just taken seriously the guidance from experts in the field.
