Maybe I'm just jaded, but when I read "12-day grace period" it makes me wonder if they were compelled to maintain access until...something finished.

I feel like we have too much innuendo flying around these days.

I admitted upfront it's wholly unsubstantiated, but something to the effect of a sovereign entity with the ability to compel the maintenance of access so as to not burn some 0-day involved in some ongoing operation/investigation/etc.

I’m pretty sure its because Adobe’s US employees are mostly gone on our extended winter shutdown on the 1st.

Probably waiting until employees of worldwide companies return from the various global holidays.

Disclaimer: I am an Adobe employee, but have no insider information about this.

Being of a more wholesome mind, I was picturing an animation starting with a partridge in a pear tree…

Biden gets sworn in on the 20th, not the 12th.
