It's quite standard for "big" CVEs nowadays

>"It looks like the IT security world has hit a new low," Torvalds begins. "If you work in security, and think you have some morals, I think you might want to add the tag-line: "No, really, I'm not a whore. Pinky promise" to your business card. Because I thought the whole industry was corrupt before, but it's getting ridiculous," he continues. "At what point will security people admit they have an attention-whoring problem?"

It started at least since https://www.heartbleed.com/ if not earlier

Interesting. Looks like I upset someone. Not sure why admitting to ignorance is so offensive. Maybe because it's so rare, hereabouts?
