Wow, that's a pretty huge and inexplicable oversight on their part. Hard
to believe they crippled their efforts so badly by missing something so
obvious, but I can't think of any reason they'd have to restrict
themselves so generously on purpose. Maybe a conscripted engineer's
subtle resistance sabotage? OK, whatever, hopefully it gives time for
the vulnerability to be fixed before they exploit it.
