Yes, and because of that, we created a new process for those types of issues (i.e. broken hardware problems that need more coordination.) That process is documented at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/embargoed-har... if you are curious.

It's been working semi-well, and gives us a way to deal with longer embargo times (like months instead of weeks and days), but it does not integrate well into the linux-distro-like way of working just yet, which is an issue that hopefully will be resolved sometime in the future if the linux-distro members wish it to be.
