This seems at odds with the literal definition of what CVEs are: _vulnerability_ enumeration. This is used especially during the coordination of fixes; how is this meant to interact with embargoed vulnerability fixing? Outside of that, I welcome the fire-hose of coming identifiers! I think this will more accurately represent the number of fixes landing in stable trees and how important it is for end users to stay current on a stable kernel. Reviewed-by: Kees Cook -- Kees Cook
