From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I read the opposite essentially, that F5 is publishing CVEs and the dev did not want them to.
Yeh, seems like the CVEs were against an alpha branch.
So, perhaps its a good reminder not to use alpha in production... But I feel it warranted a bug report instead of a "Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits" notice, normally something used to notify potentially production deployed systems of an issue.
That would be like Pepsi issuing a product recall to all retail outlers for a product that has only been tested internally (kinda)
I think it's more like pepsi issuing a product recall for something that has been accidentally left on the side of the road. You know you should not be drinking it anyway, but you also know someone would try it.
It was on purpose on the side of the road so people could gice feedback. But the issue wasn't a health issue (privilege escalation, etc), it just wasn't tasty (DoS). Something you really don't want to sell in the store, but in an alpha/beta version it's no big deal
